Dog bites can impact bite victims even after scars heal, so it's important to practice responsible pet ownership. Take a few minutes to review the risks of dog-related injuries and ways to help prevent them. #GoodNeighbor

Preventing dog bites:
• Spay or neuter to help reduce aggressive behavior.
• Socialize early. Introduce your puppy to situations and people as early as possible. Watch for signs of stress during socialization, as it can lead to aggression.
• Hire a professional. They may be able to curb aggressive behavior and help your pet overcome stress.
• Know your dog's stressors. Understanding body language can help you know when your dog is uncomfortable.
• Walk your dog regularly.
• Complete regular vet visits. A sick or injured dog is more likely to bite.
• If someone approaches your dog, ask them to wait before petting the dog to allow your pet time to feel comfortable.

Dealing with dog bites:
• Control the dog and separate it from the victim.
• Seek medical attention for the victim if necessary.
• Exchange contact information with the victim.
• Provide the victim with proof of your dog's rabies vaccination.
• Follow any protocol in the legal process, including quarantining your dog and seeing a dog behaviorist.
