VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s Conservation Officer Service is cautioning residents near Ucluelet after wolves lured away an off-leash dog on a walking trail and killed it.
The service says the dog’s death on Tuesday highlights the immediate risk to pets, and potential public safety concerns.
The service says in a statement on social media that it is working with the RCMP and District of Ucluelet officials on Vancouver Island to investigate the death.
It cautions that dogs should be kept on a leash at all times and shouldn’t be walked at all in the Wyndansea Resort lands.
It says people should carry deterrents, such as noise makers, and are urged not to let their pets roam ahead of them.
The service says wolves are intelligent predators, using tactics such as luring dogs, and while they typically avoid urban areas, that behaviour can change.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 7, 2026.
