What should I do if a dog bites me?

Being bitten by a dog can be a very scary experience, but how you react is very important going forward; remember these guidelines for how to react to a dog bite. • When you are first bitten try not to react frantically- make as little noise as possible to avoid further attacks. • If your wound is deep, seek immediate medical attention. • If the wound becomes red, swells, or even just hurts in the following days contact your doctor immediately. • Do your best to identify the dog and its owner.
