Does dogs licking frogs make them high?

It's a common myth that dogs get "high" from licking frogs. While it's true that some frogs secrete toxins, these toxins are usually not psychoactive. In fact, licking a frog is more likely to make your dog sick than "high."

Here's why:

* Toxins: Many frogs produce toxins as a defense mechanism, and these toxins can be harmful to dogs. The severity of the reaction depends on the species of frog and the amount of toxin ingested.

* Symptoms: Symptoms of frog poisoning in dogs can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, tremors, seizures, and even death.

* No psychoactive effects: The toxins in frogs are not known to have psychoactive effects like marijuana or other drugs. While dogs may act strange after licking a frog due to illness, it's not because they are "high."

If you suspect your dog has licked a frog, it's important to contact your veterinarian immediately. They can assess the situation and provide appropriate treatment if necessary.

It's best to discourage your dog from licking frogs altogether.
