Urban Dog Living - Wild Animals and Your Dog

Even in the big cities wildlife finds a way to sneak in.   Last week in Washington D.C. alone there was a Bear and a Red Panda running wild.  Foxes, Raccoons, Possums, and Squirrels are some of the wildlife that are more common in the city.  These are also the creatures that can carry rabies.   Be on the lookout for nocturnal animals that are still out and about when the sun is out. 

Tip for the Day:
Always make sure your dog is current on his vaccines.  Also teach your dog the leave it command.  A crazy wild animal running toward your dog is not the time you want to start teaching your dog that he needs to get away.  The shots for a Human who has been exposed to rabies are not cheap and they are very painful.
