In the past few weeks we have had multiple reports of pets being attacked and even killed by coyotes in the Mt Pleasant, IOP and Daniel Island areas. We are so sad to have to share this, but we think it's important to share, so that everyone can be on high alert!

Coyotes are very intelligent and unafraid to encroach on property that is inhabited by humans. Many people let their cats roam freely, and dogs need to go outside to use the bathroom and get in some play time. This leaves many of us wondering how safe are our pets when they are outside and out of our sight. Coyotes can cause physical trauma and spread diseases such as canine distemper, parvovirus, mange, intestinal parasites and even rabies.

So how can we protect our four legged friends from these natural predators?

It may be time to stop allowing your pets to roam freely, especially if you have seen a coyote on or near your property. Your dogs and cats could easily become prey, or they could be attacked by a coyote trying to claim territorial dominance. It is best to keep cats inside and to take your dog on daily walks with a leash during the day.

The highest number of coyote attacks on pets usually happen during the night or in the early evening and early morning hours. The times that are commonly referred to as dawn and dusk are highly active times for these predators, so you need to be extra careful with your pets during these times. You should definitely limit their outdoor time during these peak hours and take extra caution when walking your pets during these hours.

Coyotes can become accustomed to your daily routine and could possibly lie in wait for you and your pet. So, you need to be extra cautious and avoid dark or wooded areas and not be so routine.

Remember to keep your fence properly maintained by checking it often for any holes/openings. Coyotes can dig under fences so make sure to check both sides of your fenced property.

Coyotes were illegally imported into South Carolina for hound running. SCDNR and Federal law enforcement has and will continue to prosecute for this activity.

If you think your pet has had a run in with a coyote or you notice a wound of unknown origin on your pet after being unattended outdoors PLEASE call our office or seek veterinary care immediately.
Stay safe, everyone!

Coyotes first appeared in SC about 30 years ago and continue to expand greatly in numbers. Coyotes are negatively impacting our official State Animal, the White-tailed deer, by preying heavily on deer fawns.
