Risks

  • Meat from edible frogs is generally safe for dogs to eat. However, there are frog species that are poisonous and should not be eaten. One good indicator is that if the frog is brightly colored, it might be poisonous. The vibrant, colorful skin of frogs serves as a deterrent for would-be predators.
  • Getting in contact with poisonous frogs can cause severe discomfort and even fatal results.
  • If your dog has eaten a frog in the garden or the wild, observe your dog for any symptoms of poisoning such as excessive drooling, difficulty breathing, vomiting, pawing at the eyes or mouth, or seizure. If your dog exhibits any of these symptoms, take him to the vet immediately.
