WILDLIFE:
Safety Tips for Pet Owners

Most wildlife are not interested in humans or pets. However, there are times when wildlife and pets have negative encounters. Large dogs can be viewed as a threat to wildlife with young. Small dogs and cats can be viewed as potential food sources. Securing attractants that bring wildlife into your yard can minimize the risk for your and your pet. Here are some other helpful tips to minimize negative interactions:

  • Keep pets inside or leashed when outside.
  • Monitor pets when they are outdoors, even in a fenced in yard.
  • Be alert when walking at dawn or dusk with pets.
  • Carry an air horn or noise maker when walking pets.
