Living with Urban Coyotes

Never feed coyotes or other wildlife

Keep pets and pet food inside. If feeding outside, feed pets during the day and remove the food bowl when finished.

Stay close to your pet when taking them outdoors and always keeping them on a leash, especially from dusk through early morning hours.

Haze to shoo away coyotes, such as standing tall, yelling and waving arms while approaching the coyote, use a whistle, air horn or bell, bang pots or pans, stomp feet, use a water hose, pepper spray, or throw tennis balls or rocks at the coyote.
