In this paper we consider an initial value problem for systems of impulsive differential-difference equations is considered. Making use of the method of comparison and differential inequalities for piecewise continuous functions, sufficient conditions for practical stability of the solutions of such systems are obtained. Applications to population dynamics are also given.
