To help educate the public and reduce the estimated 4.5 million dog bites per year, the AVMA is once again sponsoring National Dog Bite Prevention Week, held this year April 12-18.
Members of the AVMA can spread the message to their clients and communities with the AVMA’s Dog Bite Prevention Toolkit, which includes client materials, social media images and tips, and information on why the AVMA believes that breed-specific legislation is an ineffective response to the problem of dog bites.
The Dog Bite Prevention Toolkit, along with additional dog bite statistics, resources, and information, can be found on the AVMA’s Dog Bite Prevention Week website.
