Prevention of Dog Bites
An estimated 4.5 million dog bites occur annually in the U.S. This estimation may be low because not all victims of dog bites report the incident and/or seek medical attention for the injury.

The cause may be as basic as the dog not feeling well or being in pain due to illness or injury. Regular veterinary care can help monitor and maintain an animal’s health.
