The number of U.S. Dog Bite injuries per year is staggering. Currently, there are approximately 75 Million dogs in the United States. There are approximately 4.7 million dog bite incidences a year. About 20% of those needed medical care. Incidentally, more than half of dog bites occur
near the victim’s property. Furthermore, unneutered dogs are much more likely to attack than neutered dogs.

Most Likely To Be Injured:

• 50% of dog attacks involved children under the age of 12
• 70% of dog bit fatalities involved children younger than 10 years old.
• In children under the age of 15, boys are more often the victim to a dog bite than girls.

Prevention:

• Parents must educate their children as to the acceptable behavior around dogs.
• Parents must supervise their children when they are in the vicinity of a dog.
