Alert | | I have 2 dogs at home and this morning I found them playing with a cream colored frog with dark spots, not very big, about 2-3 inches. They must have been playing with it for approx 30 min until I noticed. The frog was alive. We rinsed his mouth, but I am worried sick about them. Unfortunately we had to leave to work and could not stay, but I am working half day in order to go check on them. Should I be this concerned? | | | |

Alert | | If he was going to have any ill effects from the frog toxin, he would have experienced it right away. Foaming at the mouth / seizures...... Just keep an eye on him while he's in your yard in the future. The frogs are attracted to lights & are typically most mobile from dusk to dawn. | | | |

Alert | Sounds like a Lowland Leopard Frog. Its a protected species here in AZ but not toxic. Thats assuming its the one that your dogs are playing with. Heres info.
