Dog Bite Prevention

An estimated 800,000 Americans seek medical attention each year after being bitten by a pet.  Children are bitten most often, and their injuries can be devastating — even life-threatening.  We have assembled some resources below that we hope will be of help to you:

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:   Dog Bite Fact Sheet

American Veterinary Medical Association:  Dog Bite Prevention

American Academy of Pediatrics:  What You Should Know About Dog Bite Prevention

The Humane Society of the United States:   Dog Aggression
