If a dog bites you or someone else. Firstly, try to move to a safe location and away from the dog to prevent further attacks.
Examine the wound to determine the severity. Superficial wounds can often be managed at home, but deep or puncture wounds may require immediate medical attention.
Apply gentle pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage to stop the bleeding. Elevating the wounded area can help as well.
Thoroughly clean the wound with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection. Rinse for at least five minutes.
If the dog is not your own, report the incident to local animal control or authorities as required by law.
For deep wounds, wounds on the face, or if there's a concern about infection, consult a healthcare professional.
