Coyote and other animal attacks often increase in warmer months when more pets are outside. Crossroads Animal Emergency offers valuable tips for owners to quickly respond to an animal attack.

As warm weather continues, attacks by wild animals on pets are more likely. Every year, southern California pet owners are confronted with attacks by coyotes and other animals on pets. In order to keep pets safe and provide prompt, appropriate treatment if they are attacked, Crossroads Animal Emergency is offering several important tips.

First, the experts at Crossroads advise against leaving pets outdoors unattended. This is particularly true for small dogs, who may not flee an approaching wild animal. A fenced yard is the best place for a pet, but owners should still keep an eye on their pets when they are outside. Further, it is best not to leave food or water outside for animals as this can attract predators.

If an animal is attacked, first ensure the safety of adults and children. Never physically intervene in a wild animal attack; instead, spray water on the attacker or make loud noises to drive it off. Once the attacker is gone, apply gentle compression to any bleeding areas and transport a pet to an emergency animal hospital as seen at http://www.crossroadsanimal911.com immediately. If possible, carry the animal on a board or in a blanket to prevent further trauma. A muzzle may be used to prevent the pet from biting only if it is not having trouble breathing.
