Dog Bites
The Effects of a Dog Bite Can Last a Lifetime
Every year, dog and animal bites cause a very large number of serious injuries in California. These bites are a significant public health problem in California. Serious injury, permanent disfiguring scars, bacterial infections, psychological trauma, and even death can occur as a result of dog bites. Young children are especially vulnerable to animal bites.
