Dog Bites
(800) 820-1111

Nearly five million people are bitten by dogs each year, and nearly 800,000 of those victims require medical care with 300,000 requiring hospitalization. Dog bites and attacks are harrowing, traumatic events, and children are very much at risk. Larger, more aggressive dogs can cause very serious injuries, and occasionally death.

Dog owners are usually responsible for dog bites and can help prevent them by neutering their pets, treating them humanely, and obeying all restraint and containment laws. Potential victims can reduce their chances of being bitten by being cautious around unfamiliar dogs who act aggressively. They should teach their children to avoid strange dogs.

If you've received a dog bite or suffered an attack you should first determine if medical treatment is required. Wash the area gently, but thoroughly, with soap and water and apply pressure with a clean towel to stop the bleeding. Apply a sterile bandage and elevate the limb above the level of your heart to reduce swelling and prevent infection. Report the bite to animal control officers or the police, and apply antibiotic ointment twice daily.
