Watch the ground area where your visiting dog will be sniffing. Most of the time you will see a small pile of crumbled sand that shows a fire ant nest. Simply keep the dog from that area. Avoid tall grassy areas ( snakes) .Eagles are in some areas , I was told by my vet to never leaving the dog out alone without a person . A very large frog lives in Florida, that when ingested or licked can be hurtful to any dogs digestion. Most Northern dogs do not need to worry about fleas during the Fall and winter months , because of the cold weather, not so here. Be sure your friends dog has recent flea,heart worm etc. protection . It is wise to have your visitors bring their dogs vet info of all shots.. Our little critters ( lizards) will look enticing because they are fast moving and " a new toy" . Be on the watch . I have had many dogs in my care and never once had any of the trouble, I mention. This advice is just a precaution to help you be aware not to scare.
