This is the time of the year when pet owners like to enjoy time outside. Below are some tips to keep your pet safe from coyotes. Please share this with all the pet owners you know in an effort to spread the word.
Here are some tips to keep you and your pets safe from coyotes:
- Always supervise your dog and keep it on a leash — even in a fenced backyard.
- Always keep cats indoors.
- Coyotes can be creatures of habit, so if you see one at the same time and place while walking your pet, change your route or timing.
- If you have a small dog and encounter a coyote, pick up your pet.
