Hi there, how much cat litter did he eat and what kind? Ie, is it just the recycled paper stuff or does it have chemicals in it to help it clump? A large dog eating a small amount of non-toxic litter shouldn't be a problem, it's quite likely that it'll just pass through. I would watch him carefully over a couple of days for vomitting, lethargy, diarrhoea etc. If any of these signs occurr, then consider taking him to the vet. If he vomits once today and is otherwise bright and doesn't continue to vomit, you could also wait and see if he shows any other signs. Good luck!
