#NationalDogBitePreventionWeek

For some dogs, the moment they bite didn’t start in that moment.

For the person bitten, the impact can last long after.

As part of #NationalDogBitePreventionWeek, we’ve created a clear resource covering support, understanding, and risk.

For some street-born dogs, that moment they bite in a home didn’t start there.

It started long before.

It may be uncommon, but for that one dog, it only has to happen once.

We owe it to them to understand why.

Dog bite prevention Any dog can bite—big or small, male or female, young or old. It’s not a dog's breed that determines whether it will bite, but rather the dog's individual history and behavior.

It's #NationalDogBitePreventionWeek! Remember, any dog, even the friendliest one, can bite if provoked. Knowing how to avoid risky situations and understanding when to interact with dogs is important.
