African clawed frogs are frequently mislabeled as [[African dwarf frog]]s in pet stores. Identifiable differences are:
* Dwarf frogs have four webbed feet. African clawed frogs have webbed hind feet while their front feet have autonomous digits.
* African dwarf frogs have eyes positioned on the side of their head, while African clawed frogs have eyes on the top of their heads.
* African clawed frogs have curved, flat snouts. The snout of an African dwarf frog is pointed.
