FAQs
What are the main safety threats to pets in Connecticut?
Connecticut pets face a few key dangers, including wildlife such as coyotes and black bears. Coyotes are clever and increasingly wander into residential areas, so it’s important to supervise pets outdoors and remove food sources that might attract them. Black bears are usually shy, but keeping pet food and trash secured and leashing pets during hikes can help avoid unwanted encounters.
There are also two venomous snakes in the area—the Timber Rattlesnake and the Northern Copperhead. These snakes are non-aggressive but can strike if threatened. Always keep your dog on a leash while hiking and stay away from brush piles or rocky areas where snakes could be hiding.
