Florida pet owners are being told to keep an eye out for Bufo Toads as they surge in numbers. Bufo Toads are not native to Florida, but they are moving into the area by the thousands and can pose a significant threat to pets. The toads release a toxin that when consumed by a dog, can cause seizures and possibly be deadly.
… Jeannine Tilford, who owns the toad removal company Toad Busters said, “It takes one toad to kill your dog, so it’s important that you know everybody understands that these guys live here, we can just help reduce the numbers.” Tilford says they are seeing more toads than ever and sadly more dog deaths.
… Bufo Toads are a grayish brown color and can reach the size of a plate. However, they are poisonous at all stages of their life.
