In an effort to keep our community as safe as possible for our pets we are reaching out today to advise everyone that in the last 48 hours we have treated 2 large breed dogs that were attacked by wildlife resulting in significant injuries. In one of these cases a cougar was witnessed attacking the pet. Given the extent of the injuries to both, a cougar is most likely involved in both situations. The attacks were in the Wilson and Roberts Creek areas. Wildlife encounters are uncommon. However, given the multiple events in a short period of time we wanted to remind everyone outside with their pets, especially at night, to be aware and use caution as most incidents occur when wildlife are caught off-guard by approaching pets.
