I have posted many times about the large and deadly Cane toad (AKA Bufo toad). There are lots of them around this time of year (rainy season). If your pet encounters and interacts with a Cane toad the impacts will be almost immediate. They release a toxin, and if your dog tries to bite it or carry it, they can become sick and die in as little as 15 minutes without proper treatment.

This Cane toad was spotted near MacDill AFB today eating dog food. Please do not leave bowls of pet food and water outside. It is exactly what attracts them and could lead to your pet’s demise!

These toads have no place in our ecosystem and should be humanely destroyed. Just make sure to properly identify the toad, as many toads are harmless and beneficial. I posted a picture on how to identify them in the comments.
