Should I be concerned that my dog ate a toad?

You should definitely be concerned if your dog ate a toad. Some toads are poisonous! Call your vet right away and let him or her know what the toad looked like.

Dogs eat all kinds of crazy things. I wouldn't worry about a toad unless you live in the Amazon and it was poisonous. I would just keep an eye on the dog and if it starts acting funny take it to a vet.

I think that when dogs eat toads, the canine runs the risk of getting sick to its stomach. The slimy coating on toads can be noxious and will make a small dog ill or it could cause it to die. Call your vet if your your pooch swallowed a toad!

Yes you should wash out its mouth with water and take it to a vet if possible. If the vet is closed that's all you can do. Hope it's ok
