Encountering Coyotes: Coyote Interactions

Coyotes and Pets

Although attacks on humans are rare, coyotes are opportunistic and will prey upon free-roaming cats and small dogs. The best prevention is to keep pets supervised, indoors, or on a leash.

​The thought of losing a pet for any reason is awful. Keeping them supervised and safe has benefits beyond protection from coyotes. Pets are also vulnerable to cars, toxins/poisons, and free-roaming dogs and cats.
