Halloween Safety Tips for your Pets
Posted on 10/24/2026Halloween can be one of the spookiest times of the year, especially for our pets. LA Animal Services offers the following pet safety tips to keep our pets safe during Halloween festivities:
Coyote Reporting & Safety
Posted on 10/23/2026According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, coyotes play an important role in the ecosystem by helping control rodent populations. While coyotes are most active between dusk and dawn, they can be seen at any time of day.
Learning how to safely coexist is key. If you encounter a coyote, one effective technique is called “coyote hazing.” Hazing helps reinforce a natural fear of humans and discourages coyotes from returning to populated areas.
If a coyote bites a human, you can call the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at (888) 334-2258.
