Quick answer
Probably not, though occasionally pets can have an allergic
reaction to the toxin.
Further
information
Common toads produce a toxin from the pair of paratoid glands on
their back. This makes them distasteful to predators and is not
designed to be fatal. Many dogs and cats ignore amphibians but
some do show an interest. Very rarely, a pet can suffer an
allergic reaction to the toxin - if this happens, seek
veterinary attention immediately.
There is no one who will come and remove toads or other
amphibians from you garden. If you wish to exclude any species
you will need to look at modifying the habitats in your garden
so they are less attractive, although bare in mind this will
have impacts on all wildlife.
