And What You Should Do If You Are Bitten

Dog bites are a problem, sending many people to the hospital. Some dog bites can even be fatal. However, this can easily be prevented, as long as you are careful. You should also teach your children to be careful around dogs.

Know the signs of a dog that is getting ready to attack. Though you may think that a dog barks and snarls at you before he or she bites, there are other signs that you should look at.

Don’t feel like you have to pet every dog that you see. Many people just love dogs, and they feel the need to go up to everyone that they see. However, that could just make it more likely that you will meet one who doesn’t want anything to do with you!

Be wary of any dogs that you see when you are out and about. Don’t approach loose dogs, because you have no idea if they are friendly or not. You also want to have any information on them if you do get bit!

Ask before petting a dog that you want to. Owners should know whether or not it is safe to pet their dogs. Many will warn you to stay away, though some are oblivious to the actions of their dog and won’t tell you that he or she can be aggressive.

Even the most careful person can find themselves bitten by a dog. Here are some things that you should do if you happen to find yourself bitten by a dog.
