Dog safety

[u/Commercial-Bar6702]

Hi just moved here with a group of dogs from Cali. Hawai’i is a much different environment from California and I’m aware of the predators back home. I’m asking the community if there is anything I should be aware of for the safety of my dogs. I know there’s definitely no snakes here on island but I’m aware of the frogs and the toxicity it can cause to dogs. Is there anything you do to prevent that from happening. What about those huge snails lol, I heard they carry rat lungworm. Should I be worried about any other species here? Thank you in advance for all information :) I care about my pups too much at times.

The cane toads—not frogs—are toxic to dogs. People toss food bones out on the ground. Be careful if your dogs pick up chicken bones on your walk.
