Deadly bufo toads in Florida are causing problems for pets in Florida, WPTV reports.

The toads, which are not native to the state, are showing up in increasing numbers, said Jeannine Tilford, owner of toad removal company Toad Busters.

“It takes one toad to kill your dog,” she said, “so it’s important that … everybody understands that these guys live here. We can just help reduce the numbers.”
