If you love your pets, you'll never allow them to chase gophers or any wildlife.  We're sure that you enjoy living in your home flea-free, however once your pets start digging in the soil where the gophers and other wildlife live, they will most likely get fleas, eventually transferring to you and your family. Fleas are an extremely big problem and fleas are the carriers of deadly diseases.  Bubonic Plague is a killer and is carried and spread by fleas.  Be safe, don't allow your pets to chase or kill gophers and other wildlife.  Hunting dogs can also carry these fleas but most hunters know how to care for their dogs.

Dogs and gophers are a bad combination.  We've seen dogs throughout the years, turn luscious yards into war zones.  Many look like the surface of the moon.  With a dog, their hearing is much more sensitive than humans. Gophers are not quiet workers and they will drive a dog crazy.  The bigger the dog, the more damage you'll have.  If a gopher is cornered or the dog digs up a den, your dog will be faced with not only the mother gopher but also the male gopher, who isn't too far from the nest.  If your dog refuses to go into your yard, he may have already been bitten.  Be sure to check your dog for any open wounds and sores that can become easily infected.  Inspect your dogs nose and mouth area.  Gophers latch on with their locking jaws and while hanging on, they will grind deeper into the flesh.  We have seen the largest and most aggressive dogs get attacked or the end results.  There is nothing worse than a dog who is hand shy, from being bitten.  One client had a Saint Bernard that had the right side of his nose bitten off.  

Cats are patient and sneaky.  You have to love them, for those two qualities alone.  We have seen cats pretending to be napping outside of a gopher hole and instantly spring into action, as the gopher surfaces.  As the cat grabs the gopher by the neck, the gopher begins it's hissing and fighting back.  As the gopher will be hanging from the cats mouth, the gopher will rotate and latch onto the cats face.  Those claws are not only for digging through dirt, they can also be used for combat and protection.  Cats will instinctively drop and play with the gopher and the gopher won't have anything to do with it!  Gophers will take a stand against even the largest domestic cats.  Even wild cats and coyotes have trouble with gophers.  As with the dogs, fleas can easily transmit from gophers to cats to humans.  Keep safe and don't let your cat go after gophers.

One of the most important information we can provide to you, to keep your pets safe, is to inform you of the possible poisoning of your pets after eating a gopher.  Your neighbor could be inserting poisoned baits into the gopher tunnels next door and you would never know it.  If a gopher were to eat it and while searching for water, pops up in your yard, then your dog eats it, your dog can easily be killed by secondary poisoning.  There are dangers of  deadly snakes cleaning out the gopher tunnels and if a gopher has been bitten and is trying to run from the snake, surfaces into your yard...it's the same result.  If you love your pets, keep them away from gophers and other wildlife.  It's just common sense.
