Each year, nearly 5 million people are bitten by dogs in the United States. According to State Farm Insurance, dog bite victims suffer a total of $1 billion in monetary losses each year. Although many of these are mild bites with minimal damage, others are not so lucky. Serious maulings can leave victims suffering from severe injuries, pain, scarring, permanent disability, and even death.

Over half of all recorded dog bite cases occur while the victim is home. The perpetrator may be a neighbor’s dog, a friend’s, or a stranger’s.
Call the doctor immediately if you have suffered wounds to the hands, feet, or face. These areas can be particularly problematic and require timely treatment by medical professionals.
If you have not had a tetanus shot in five years and become bitten, see a doctor immediately. You should also see a doctor (and call animal control) if you fear you were bitten by a rabid dog.
