Mine would not eat dog food either, and it stinks up the housing too. I have read before that dog food contains too much fat for it to be a good regular food item. Crickets, crawlers, mealworms are your best bet. Mine would take pinky mice and raw chicken as a treat. But in general cane toads are ready feeders, so you should be okay. If he's not eating at all make really sure he has deep substrate for burrowing as well as a hide box. At first my cane toads would not eat with me in the room, they were that skittish, but soon enough they settled down and devoured everything in their path except toe dog food.
