Dogs are the worst predators of goats, attacking and killing more often than any wild animal and doing it for fun rather than because they’re hungry. Dogs go after goats individually or in packs, with pack attacks being the worst for obvious reasons.

Dogs dig under fences to get to goats or other small livestock. You can identify a dog attack because dogs usually go for a goat’s hind legs and rear end. They can kill or cause injuries severe enough to create major physical problems for a goat. Goats that are attacked by dogs often have to be euthanized or die later from the trauma of being terrorized and seeing their herd mates killed.
