Avoiding a New Hampshire Dog Bite

They say that a dog is man’s best friend. However, dogs can pose serious threats to not only you, but to your children as well. A New Hampshire dog bite can happen anytime a dog is present. It can leave you or a loved one with a serious New Hampshire dog bite injury.

Your Own Dog

If you are considering bringing a dog into your family, make sure to choose a dog breed that is compatible with your situation. You may want to stay away from breeds that have a history of being aggressive. They may not be the best choice, if you have small children in your home.

Someone Else's Dog

Keeping you and your family safe from other dogs is also important. You should always avoid approaching a stray or unfamiliar dog, especially if the owner of the dog is not around.

If you do approach someone else’s dog, never do so with quick motions or from above. Give the dog time to acknowledge your presence before touching it.

If the owner is present, you should ask for permission to pet the animal. The owner should understand the temperament of the pet and can warn you of any dangers that the dog might pose.
