    Are there any issues with dogs, as far as environmental dangers?

    Here in Panama, we have gotten to meet the Cane toad (huge toad very poisonous to dogs) and some type of catepillar size worm that likes to use dogs and people as an incubator. It just chose our dog as a host, but some of our neighbors weren't so lucky.
    We would be bringing 3 Boston Terriers.

    Thanks
    Sandy

    So much things to know that we don't know or i don't know,but speaking of wormy stuff oh my if i ever see like that must stiffen me to death ,seriously i have this extreme creeps of any 'elongated boneless lifeforms', parasites.Dogs can hv parasites but i haven't heard of anything that goes to like a caterpillar size .But pet owners can prevent such by giving them recommended deworming dose of purgatives.
