FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Schaumburg, Ill.
— Every year, more than 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs.
To help educate the public about dog bites, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has developed a brochure, “What you should know about dog bite prevention,” offering tips on how to avoid being bitten, what dog owners can do to prevent their dogs from biting and how to treat dog bites.
The release of the brochure precedes National Dog Bite Prevention Week, May 21-28, sponsored by the AVMA, American Academy of Pediatrics and United States Postal Service.

More than 73,000 member veterinarians are engaged in a wide variety of professional activities. AVMA members are dedicated to advancing the science and art of veterinary medicine including its relationship to public health and agriculture.
