Free-roaming pets, especially cats and some small dogs, may attract coyotes into certain neighborhoods. How to keep your pets safe?
Coyotes primarily hunt rodents and rabbits for food, but will take advantage of whatever is available, including garbage, pet food and domestic animals. When coyotes are given access to human food and garbage their behavior changes. They lose caution and fear. They might threaten human safety. Please stash your food and trash.
