Please be diligent during these next few months! Do not leave your pet unattended, and stay alert while you are outside- even in fenced in spaces.

Go outside with your dog!
Reminder to all friends with dogs and cats: The next 4-6 weeks is mating season for coyotes. Please do not let your dogs out alone. The outcome can be tragic as they can & will attack/kill your pets. Just be aware it can happen to your beloved pet.
Coyote breeding typically peaks in late February and early March, the gestation period averages 58 to 63 days. Male coyotes can become more aggressive during this time of year, the long and short of it all is that coyotes always pose a risk to your dog (and other small pets). That risk increases during mating season.
