Coyotes become more active this time of year as breeding season runs from January through March, and pups are born between March and May. During this period, coyotes may travel farther and appear more frequently in neighborhoods, parks, and even backyards.
Pet owners should stay alert while walking dogs and letting pets outside, especially around dawn and dusk when coyote activity tends to increase. Keeping pets on a leash, supervising outdoor time, and avoiding areas with visible wildlife activity can help reduce risk.
If your pet is attacked by a coyote or another dog, seek emergency care immediately. Call EPIC Vets at 951-695-5044 on your way to our 24-hour emergency animal hospital so our team can be ready to help.
