In 2018, our Golden Retriever puppy licked a Cane Toad in our backyard in Naples, Florida. He immediately started whining, shaking, and foaming at the mouth. After quickly using the garden hose to rinse his mouth out and driving him to the vet, he survived this scary night. If no one had been outside watching him, things could have gone much differently that day. 

After that day, we started working together with a local pest control company to create a product that will help us keep Cane Toads out of our backyard and away from pool screens so that we can worry a little less about our pup. 

After months of research, tryouts and testing, we found the perfect mixture that kept the toads away for good. Quickly the word spread and our neighbors and friends asked us if they can get the product as well. So we decided to create a website and give the product a name. 

We are happy to introduce PupDefense. PupDefense is an all organic, non-toxic, Cane Toad repellent that will help you keep your dogs safe when they are wandering your property. PupDefense was specifically developed and tested to keep your dogs safe from Cane Toads while not harming the environment. PupDefense is EPA exempt and registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and ConsumerServices Bureau of Pesticides.

Colorado River Toad / Sonoran Desert Toad

After we received so much positive feed from happy customers all over Florida, we tested our product with the second poisonous toad in the U.S.. The Sonoran Desert Toad (also called Colorado River Toad). This toad is very common in Arizona and New Mexico and just as the Cane Toad has bufotoxins that are used as selfdefense mechanism leading to the death of many dogs in Arizona and New Mexico. PupDefense is just as effective with these toads as it is with the Cane Toads found in Florida.
