A 5-year-old miniature schnauzer named Blaze was fatally attacked by a coyote near Tanner Park last week, Salt Lake County officials announced.
The pet dog had apparently wandered away from his owners’ home through an open gate before the attack early June 15, according to a news release from Salt Lake County Animal Services.that is popular among dog owners in Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake County Animal Services provided several tips on how people can avoid encounters and conflicts with coyotes.Don’t feed coyotes, and get rid of things that could attract them to your property, such as pet food, water sources, bird feeders, and fallen fruit, officials advised. Motion-activated lights can also deter coyotes, and trimming trees and shrubs in your yard can cut back on coyote hiding spots, the release states.Coyotes can perceive smaller pets as potential prey, while larger dogs might be viewed as threats or competitors, officials said.To minimize risk, don’t leave dogs outside after dark, and keep cats indoors. Dogs should be leashed in open areas such as trails, and they should never be allowed to chase or “play” with coyotes.
