Residents in the Kensington Ave and surrounding area in Smiths Falls should be aware of a fox that has been spotted in the neighborhood on multiple occasions.
In addition to keeping pets supervised when outdoors and keeping them in at night, it’s crucial to be aware of potential disease transmission from wild foxes to domestic animals.
Foxes can carry diseases such as rabies, distemper, and mange, posing a risk to pets that come into contact with them.
Taking precautions such as securing garbage bins to avoid attracting wild animals and ensuring pets are up to date on vaccinations can further mitigate these risks.
