You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You need to immediately meet with an attorney to review your lease. The laws may be different in different counties. In Miami-Dade County, pit bulls are prohibited as a matter of law. You may be able to evict your tenants or require them to get their own insurance depending on the terms of the lease and how it was written.
