Good information. PLEASE READ.

Has a coyote ever “followed” you or your dog while you’re walking in your neighborhood or in the park? If so, you may have felt afraid, perhaps thought the coyote was stalking you, or that an attack was imminent. But don’t fear. Coyotes are naturally curious animals, and often engage in this behavior called “escorting”. Escorting is when a coyote, sometimes with its mate, makes sure that you are leaving its territory. This behavior is most often seen from early March to late April, when coyote parents are protecting their precious puppies. Escorting most often happens in early morning or in the evening, and because they may see dogs as a threat to their babies, it’s most often seen by dog walkers.

What do you do if you’re “escorted” by a coyote? Don’t panic; the coyote is much more terrified of you! If you don’t have your dog leashed - which you should in coyote country- immediately leash it and keep it by your side. Calmly keep walking, slowly, as normally. Soon enough, you’ll be out of the coyote’s home and he will stop escorting you! On the off chance the escorting coyote starts to approach too closely, shout and wave your hands to frighten it away. As we humans develop more and more woodlands, coyote coexistence has become even more essential; we simply must learn to speak their language.

Easter is just around the corner and you know what Easter for many of us means - fresh floral bouquets and Easter lilies! 💐

If you have cats in your house or are sending flowers to cat households, please find arrangements that don't have lilies, or find a safe place away from cats to display them. Any plant in the lilium species are considered toxic. Calla lily, peace lilies, and lily-of-the-valley are only lilies by name and not by species and they don't pose the same threat as other lilies, but they are still toxic and can cause mild to moderate illnesses.

If you think your cat has come in contact with a lily (remember, even the water they sit in can be toxic), please call your veterinarian or local emergency veterinary clinic immediately. Lily toxicity is deadly to cats when not treated at all, and deadly if not treated soon enough! (BVC had a case of lily toxicity just last week!)

For more information about lily toxicity or other pet poison info, please visit Pet Poison Helpline on Facebook or visit their website!
