Are toads in Vermont poisonous to small dogs?

Yes, toads in Vermont can be poisonous to small dogs. There are two types of toads found in Vermont, the American toad and the Fowler's toad. Both of these toads have glands on their skin that can secrete a toxin called bufotoxin. Bufotoxin can cause a variety of symptoms in dogs, including vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, seizures, and even death. The amount of bufotoxin that a toad produces can vary, so even if a dog comes into contact with a toad that does not appear to be toxic, it is still important to seek veterinary care immediately.
