Do you put dog food or cat food bowls out for your pet in the backyard? Think again. Pet food placed outdoors can attract skunks, raccoons, opossums, foxes, and coyotes at night. These wild animals can carry rabies, distemper, and mange, and they can infect your pets with these sometimes fatal diseases. Do yourself and your pets a favor. Place dog and cat food bowls indoors or in an enclosed location that is not accessible to wild animals. One incidental benefit of this practice is that it does not concentrate these wild predators in your neighborhood where some neighbors may perceive these animals as nuisances and kill them as they roam through their yards. https://dnr.state.mn.us/backyard/index.html
