Not as far as I know. Likely the worst things around the kitchen are grapes, raisins, and sugarless gum or anything else using Xyitol as a sweetener. Chocolate is bad, but it takes a large, single dose to hurt most dogs.

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.

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.
