๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐: Preventing dog bites starts at home. ๐ถ Most bites happen in familiar places - usually from a family or friendโs dog. Even gentle dogs can react if theyโre startled, eating, or sleeping.
๐ Stay within armโs reach when your child is around dogs, especially during play. Avoid distractions like your phone.
โ๏ธ Teach kids to be gentle
โ๏ธ Separate child & dog when you canโt supervise
โ๏ธ Create dog-free and child-free zones
โ๏ธ Train your dog to follow basic commands
โ๏ธ Remind kids not to run, wrestle, or ride dogs
Protect your little one - and your pup - with calm, safe interactions.
