Keep cane toads out of your yard — and your dog safe.
PupDefense is an organic, pet-safe granule that trains cane toads to leave your yard and stay gone. Sprinkle it around the edge of your yard to create an invisible barrier, then hit the spots toads love: bushes, mulch beds, planters, fence lines, and around your home. Skip porous surfaces like pavers and cement.
Best for big properties, or a full season's supply for most yards. One application covers about 2,000 feet.
How to use: Apply twice during the first month to break the toads' habit, then once a month to keep them away. Rain is no problem, and it goes down as easily as sprinkling sand through your hands.
- Organic and safe around pets and kids when used as directed
- Deters cane toads — never kills, so you're never left with a dead toad in the grass
- Lasts twice as long as the old liquid spray
- Made in the USA, and trusted by Florida dog owners since 2019

How PupDefense Works
No deterrent on earth is instant and absolute, and any product that claims to be is either lying or it is a poison. Toads can still wander in. One might even sit right on the granules. But to a cane toad, PupDefense is miserable. Cane toads take in everything through their skin, which makes them far more sensitive than any animal with fur, and our blend is built to use that against them. The scent, the taste, and the feel are something they want no part of, while it stays completely harmless to your dog. Visit after visit, fewer come back, because they have learned your yard is the bad restaurant.
Why a poison cannot protect your dog
A poison only does anything after a toad is already in your yard, which means your dog is already at risk, and it does nothing to stop the next one hopping in tonight. Worse, a dead toad in the grass can be more dangerous than a live one, because a curious dog explores with its mouth and can swallow the whole thing, toxin and all. Protecting your dog means keeping toads out in the first place, every night, before your dog ever finds one.
Why a fence will not save you
Physical barriers are expensive, hard to install, and many will not pass your HOA. Worst of all, they usually do not even work. Cane toads climb anything that is not perfectly smooth, push through gaps, and scale chain link with ease, and the tiny toadlets slip through almost anything. Unless a barrier is smooth, tall, and sealed tight to the ground, the toads find a way in.
What to expect
The first month does the heavy lifting. If you live with heavy toad pressure, give it a little more time and stay consistent, because consistency is what breaks the pattern for good.

What Florida Dog Owners Say
I have not seen one toad since using PupDefense. It took 3-4 weeks to change their behavior, but so worth it!
Thank you so much for developing this product. I finally have peace of mind when letting my pup out into the yard again. I have been using PupDefense since November 2019.
I apply PupDefense once a month around my backyard and the toad activity has decreased from around 5 a week to 1 in the last three months. Thank you!
