Hello, My puppy accidentally ate some pepper sauce and he started foaming out of his mouth, I gave him so milk to neutralize it. I was just wondering if there are any important risks I should be looking out for before I bring him to the vet? The pepper did not contain any capsaicin as well.

He should be just fine - although it sounds like he didn’t enjoy he hot sauce there shouldn’t be any lasting side effects. If he ate a large amount of it you could potentially see some diarrhea but it should be self limiting.
