Seeing a coyote in our backyard was a good reminder that wildlife is often closer than we think!
Coyotes are a natural part of our ecosystem, but it’s important to take a few extra precautions to keep our pups safe.
🐾 Never leave small dogs outside unattended
🐾 Keep dogs on leash during walks
🐾 Check your yard before potty breaks
🐾 Stay especially alert at dawn and dusk
🐾 Avoid leaving pet food outside
🐾 If you encounter a coyote, make yourself appear large, be loud, and slowly create distance
For us, it means always supervising Roku when he’s outside and staying aware of our surroundings.
Lately we’ve been seeing deer too! 🦌
