Safety Tips to Avoid Attacks

Take Safety Precautions to Avoid a Dog Bite

Dog attacks, unfortunately, will happen from time to time, but you can take precautions to protect yourself and your family members from becoming injury victims.

Teach your children the following basic safety tips and review them regularly:

• Don't approach an unfamiliar dog.
• Don't run from a dog or scream.
• Remain still when approached by an unfamiliar dog.
• If knocked over by a dog, roll into a ball and lie still.
• Don't play with a dog unless supervised by an adult.
• Report stray dogs or dogs displaying unusual behavior immediately to an adult.
• Avoid looking directly at a dog's eyes.
• If a dog is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies, do not disturb it.
• Never pet a dog without first allowing it to see and sniff you.
• Immediately report a bite to an adult.
