What to do after a dog bites you

Dog bites, like many unfavorable incidents, are situations most people don’t consider until it happens to them. Unfortunately, with 4.5 million people in the United States being bitten by a dog each year, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, it’s an all-too-common occurrence. Dog bites can be startling, traumatic and overwhelming, and it’s important to be prepared, whether you’re the owner of the dog that bit someone or you or your dog are the victim of a dog bite.
