Facts
Please consider the following statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
* Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bite injuries
* Nearly half of these are children
* Of those injured, 386,000 require medical treatment in an emergency department
* Of those injured, about 12 die
* The rate of dog bite related injuries is highest for children ages 5 to 9
* Almost two-thirds of injuries to children ages 4 and under are to the head or neck
Dog bite injuries can be prevented. Don’t let your child become a statistic!
Be extremely careful with unfamiliar dogs, even in the home of a close friend or relative.
