What Should I Do If a Dog Bites Me?

If you are bitten or attacked by a dog, you should:

• Immediately wash the wound thoroughly with soap and warm water.
• Contact your physician for additional care and advice.  If you are in immediate medical distress, call an ambulance or go to the emergency room immediately.
• Report the attack to your local animal control agency.  Tell the animal control officer everything you know about the dog, including name and address of the dog's owner. 
• If the dog is a stray, you still should make a report to your local animal control agency.  Tell the animal control officer what the dog looked like, where you saw it, whether you saw it before, and the direction it went after the incident.
• Contact an Ohio dog bite lawyer to determine your legal rights as an Ohio dog bite victim.
