I agree with labman. A little hot sauce won't hurt him. May give him a slight case of the runs. In addition to the items labman mentions, add onions to that list. All of these items are toxic to a dog's system.

It appears, for the safety of your big silly puppy, that you may want to move everything far back on the counter and completely out of his reach, until you have a chance to train him to stay off of the counters.

Good luck! Love those Danes.

Grapes are bad for dogs? I didn't know this, I have a friend that feeds her dog grapes as a treat, can you send my more info on this so I can share it with her

Jessyfay, grapes and raisins are VERY toxic to a dog's system. It is caused from the mold that develops on the grape. It can cause kidney failure.

Here is a link that lists all toxins that can affect dogs. Print it out and give to your friend.
