This depends upon the type of magnet - copper, found in bronze and brass, can cause acute toxicity as it is released in the acidic conditions of the stomach. However, the usual problem with magnets and dogs is the dogs often eat more than one magnet. This can cause severe problems if the magnets become separated then reattract each other across intestinal walls - the magnets can cause intestinal obstruction or torsion due to their pulling of the intestine loops.
In general, it's a good idea to have a veterinarian examine your dog after eating a magnet to make sure there is only one and that it will pass through the gastrointestinal tract without injury. If it is still in the stomach, the veterinarian may be able to get it out either through surgery or through endoscopic retrieval.
