We've always had a mix of dogs from big to tiny and coyotes very close to the house and have not lost a dog. However, there are certainly anecdotal tales of coyotes picking off small household pets.
We know for sure that no one in our area is able to keep cats outdoors. They all disappear. We have two cats that have never set foot out a door. I know they are missing a lot of cat fun, but they are both alive. Nancy
