Toads aren't really ideal though for dog owners, though, because they can be poisonous if eaten. In fact I think most if not all secrete poison if bitten. My dogs are small, so I really worry that they will one day get a hold of one of our little toads that I frequently find around the yard. I sort of have a love/hate thing going on with our toads. Guess we don't have enough to completely eliminate the slugs, though.
