When a Pet Kills another’s Pet

The death of a beloved pet for whatever cause is always painful and emotionally traumatic. But when it involves another individual’s aggressive animal, anger, hate and shock are added to the emotional equation.

Many, many people have had to live through the experience of watching helplessly as their small dog or cat is torn to shreds by a dangerous dog. When this happens, the pet owner’s first thought is to run into the fight to save his or her pet, but this can lead to the severe injury of the owner.

As extremely difficult as it may feel to stay back, you must. Injury to yourself will not help the situation and entering into a dogfight can even lead fatal injuries. When dogs engage in fighting, their instincts kick in and they will attack anything that comes near.

If your pet is attacked by another animal, the best thing to do is find the nearest hose and spray water at the animals from a safe distance.

After the Fight

If your pet was killed by another person’s animal, you may have right to legal recourse. Take pictures of where the accident took place and look around for any person that may have witnessed what happened. Gain as much information as you can about the accident and the situations surrounding it.
