A fox will take anything it can grab - most certainly rabbits, mice, cats, chickens, and small dogs. Keep your little dogs inside at night, dusk, and dawn. Even if you have a dog run or kennel - - I've seen fox work like crazy to go through pens and enclosures to get to a meal.

They don't call them "sly" for nothing.

No, your dogs aren't safe. A hungry fox will snatch up a small dog in a heartbeat. And if they are coming close enough to your house that you see them, they are hungry.

Foxes rarely attack dogs and cats, but they are highly susceptible to rabies, so it would be rabies that would be the main fear you should have. If you see a fox acting strangely, like not running for cover when you or your dogs are out, you need to keep your dogs away from it.

This is extremely unlikely. Foxes avoid dogs, even small dogs, because many foxes are killed by dogs.So it is much more likely that your dog will attack the fox, not the other way round. Attacks on cats are equally rare: cats and foxes are roughly the same size, and cats are very capable of defending themselves against foxes.

So it is hardly surprising that foxes generally give cats a wide berth and flee when threatened by a cat. Occasionally small kittens are killed, but this is rare. Keeping your cat indoors at night greatly reduces the chances of an encounter with a fox.

There are also a variety of other benefits: cats kept in at night are healthier and live longer, and kill less of the local wildlife. Html#q2.
