Bite Prevention
| Imagine life with a well-behaved dog! Elaine Pendell 919-349-0000 |
Children are more likely to be bitten by a dog than adults
and many bites will be to the face.
Dog bites are one of the top three reasons a child will need
to visit an emergency room.
Dog bites are one of the most common reasons a child will
need some form of cosmetic reconstruction to repair
damage.
Any dog is capable of biting - regardless of breed or cross:
there is no 100% safe breed or cross.
More children will be bitten by dogs known to them (in the
child's house or owned by a friend or relative) than dogs
unknown to them.
It is when we assume children and dogs are natural buddies,
that trouble begins.
We blind ourselves to the fact that any dog can bite and any
child can behave in ways that can encourage a bite - even in
play.
Unneutered males have the highest incidence of bites -
unspayed females are second.
(Data from AVMA, HSUS, CDC and various other sources)
If we do not teach our dogs good manners, we are not doing
our job as good dog owners!
We have to keep our dogs safe and make sure our dogs
are safe for others to be around!
Many bites are preventable through education of child,
parent and dog owner.
The topics covered in our educational programs can apply
to any one of any age.

Dog Safety program tailored to your individual group needs.
