How to Avoid Being Bitten by a Dog

Category: Professional Services  |  Permalink

Published: Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Did you know that Americans own over 72 million dogs? Of those7.2 million dogs, approximately 4.7 million people suffer from animal bites each year, while over 800,000 bites require medical attention. Unfortunately the highest rates of injury occur in children ages 5-9 years old with the most serious of those injuries occurring to a child's face or neck. Fortunately there are a few simple tactics one can take to try to avoid being bitten by a dog.

How to Avoid Being Bitten by a Dog

  • You should never approach an unfamiliar dog.

  • Avoid dogs that may be tied or confined behind a fence or in a car.

  • Always let a dog see and sniff you first.

  • Never turn your back to a dog and run away. It is a dog's natural instinct to chase after you.

  • Never disturb a dog while it is sleeping, eating, chewing on a toy or caring for puppies.

  • Be cautious of strange dogs and always assume that a dog who does not know you may view you as an intruder or threat.
