Comply with local ordinances regarding the reporting of dog bites. Consult your veterinarian for advice about dog behavior that will help prevent similar problems in the future. If YOU are the bite victim - treat wounds. If your own dog bit you , confine it immediately and call your veterinarian to check your dog's vaccination records. These details may help animal-control officers locate the dog.
Dogs are wonderful companions.
By acting responsibly, owners not only reduce the number of dog bites, but also enhance the relationships they have with their dogs. To learn more about the joys and responsibilities of pet ownership, contact your veterinarian or local veterinary association.
