Watch Your Pets in Arizona! This Dangerous Threat Could Hurt Them
In Arizona, many of us view our dogs and cats as more than just pets. They're members of our family. We want to keep them safe, especially from threats around our home.
Watch for Threats to Your Pets in Arizona
Coyotes pose a significant threat to dogs and outdoor cats in Arizona. While they're primarily found in rural areas, I've seen them increasingly in residential areas.
LostPetResearch.com has seen many pets go missing over the years.
