FAQs
What are the main safety threats to pets in Montana?
Montana’s rugged wilderness is beautiful, but it comes with some risks for your pets. Venomous snakes like prairie rattlesnakes are a concern during warmer months, especially on trails or in grassy areas. Keep your dog leashed when exploring the outdoors and be cautious near rocky terrain where snakes may hide. If your pet is bitten, seek veterinary help immediately.
Additionally, wildlife such as bears and coyotes can pose dangers, especially in remote areas. Always keep a close eye on your pets and avoid leaving food outside that might attract wild animals. Toxic plants like lupine and death camas are also common in the region, so be mindful of what your pet might nibble on during hikes.
