In wake of coyote attack, Ansonia police urge residents to vaccinate pets

ANSONIA - The Ansonia Police and Animal Control Officer would like to warn residents about making sure their pets are up to date on their vaccinations.
On Thursday, March 26, a resident of Park Place reported her dog was chased and injured by two coyotes the day before.

Due to the fact that many people let their pets outside, vaccinations should be up to date, police said. Care should also be taken when letting 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. Please contact the Ansonia Police Department if there are any issues pertaining to wild animals or contact is made with pets or humans.

The number to the Ansonia Police Department is 203-735-1885.
