Do you have frogs or are you worried about ones outside. If you have frogs inside, then its not a problem because the frog is in a cage where the dog can't get to it.
If you are worried about frogs outside, I am not sure. I would call a vet in the area and ask. I can't imagine it would be a problem unless he actually eats them anyway.
Just keep your pup on a leash and watch him. He will eat anything he may find anyway. Mine used to find gum quite often. I thought I was watching him, but all I would have to do is look away for a second and he was chewing gum. Funny until he got some stuck in his fur.
Anyway, if you are real concerened, call some local vets and ask about the frogs.
Enjoy your new pup and Good Luck

If you take it outside make sure it is strictly supervised so it wont go around licking those frogs. Also make sure that the frogs cant get into your house and check around the house for any of those frogs.

Hi congratulations on your puppy. Any questions about frog can be answered at many local places such as your future vet, a library, zoo, or even some pet stores. I would hate for any one to give you misguided answers that could harm your puppy. GOOD LUCK and hope these answers help.

well, duh, honestly all ya hav to do is keep her away from frogs! when ya hav a puppy, you can't take your eyes off her or she might get into trouble. make sure YOU ARE THE LEADER OF HER so that she will listen. don't let her go ahead of you while walking or she'll think she's the leader when walking ahead. also don't let her go through the door before you. i strongly suggest reading a book by barbara woodhouse: No Bad Dogs The Woodhouse Way. she explains everything, and her tricks got my puppy to be extremely well behaved.

it is toads that will make your puppy froth a the mouth. the dogs usualy spit out the toad. You may have frogs with poison. if you live in certain areas of the country of you live out of the USA. Check with you wild life people in your area.

Your fluffy little bundle of joy can also get hit by a car, mauled by another dog (or a cat for that matter), bitten by a snake, infected by ticks with Lyme's disease, she could get parvo or distemper, kennel cough, heart worms, fleas, lice, she could get mange, cancer, polyps, hot spots and any number of other things could happen to her.
Chances are, nothing will happen to her. Your neighbor is pulling your chain.
