How venomous is the English adder Can an English adder's bite kill a cat or small dog?
The English adder can kill a human. However, nobody has been killed (and recorded) by an adder in England for over 20 years. Note that the English adder is not a large snake (70 cm or so) and it's not terribly common. England like much of Europe is very close to civilization at every place (unlike the united states for example), so no matter where you got bit, you'd most likely be able to make it to a hospital for treatment. Most people recover with nausea, maybe some vomiting and bruising at the bite location. However, without treatment and if the adder pumps a lot of venom....and it's a larger one....it could kill a human. Note also that adders are not vicious....they generally try to avoid contact with anything that isn't prey. So, only if they are bothered or stepped on would you expect to be bitten.
So, to your question. If a dog or cat were bitten by an adder and didn't receive treatment, then yes, A dog of any size, is quite likely to die.
Sorry....

Are adders harmful to humans?
Yes they are. Adders are the only venomous snakes found in Britain, although they are absent from Ireland. They use their venom to immobilise prey such as lizards, amphibians, nestlings and small mammals. After striking their prey, they leave the venom to take effect before following the victim's scent to find the body. Although an adder's venom poses little danger to a healthy adult human, the bite is very painful and requires urgent medical attention. Adders are the most northerly distributed snake and the only species found inside the Arctic circle.

Are there any poisonous frogs in England?
Yes, England does have poisonous snakes, but only one species of them. It is an Adder (vipera berus), also known as the common viper, and is the most northerly distributed of all snakes -- its even found in the Arctic Circle. Of its four subspecies, the only one found in Britain is vipera berus berus. One of the most prolific species of snake, adders are found throughout Europe, Russia and Asia, and are widespread in mainland Britain, but absent from Ireland. Adders are fairly short -- about half a meter -- and thick-bodied, with large heads and a rounded snout. They are usually grey or brown, with zigzag markings of black or dark brown on their backs, and black undersides. Some mountainous individuals are nearly all black -- evidently an environmental adaptation. Adders prey on anything small enough for them to swallow --- usually small reptiles, nestlings, and small mammals. British adders hibernate in the winter months, usually in deserted rabbit or rodent burrows, or under logs. Several male adders sometimes hibernate communally. They enjoy a wide range of habitats, from coastal sand dunes to mountains. They prefer undisturbed countryside, particularly open woodlands, hedgerows, and heathland -- but also do well in very wet habitats like bogs, moors, and riverbanks. Common Adders are relatively shy snakes, and will only attack if provoked or threatened. Unlike its more ferocious cousins, the Death Adders, Vipera Berus' bite is rarely fatal to adult humans, but the bite is extremely painful. Adder venom is both hemotoxic and neurotoxic, and prompt medical attention is required to prevent severe damage to soft tissues at and around the bite site. Its most common victims in England are dogs, who dig into their burrows in the Spring looking for rabbits. Though adders are not considered an endangered species, they are protected from being killed, injured, or sold -- under the British Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. Also please note all snakes,spiders etc use venom not poison as venom works by being injected into the blood stream, while poison has to be ingested to be harmful.
