Ansonia police asked residents to make sure their pets are up to date on vaccinations after a resident reported two coyotes attacked her dog.
In a prepared statement, Ansonia Police Lt. Andrew Cota said a Park Place resident reported Thursday (March 26) that two coyotes had chased and attacked her dog the day before.
The dog survived the attack, according to a Facebook post from the Ansonia Animal Shelter.
“Due to the fact that many people let their pets outside the vaccinations should be up to date,” Cota said. “Care should also be taken when letting the animals out of the house. If possible, the animals should be on a leash and attended to by the owner.”
“Persons should refrain from approaching any type of wild animals if they are located,” Cota’s statement went on. “Please contact the Ansonia Police Department if there are any issues pertaining to wild animals or contact is made with pets or humans.”
The police department’s phone number is 203 – 735-1885.
