🐶Dogs and children: top tips to keep them safe and happy together
The bond between your child and dog can bring fun and happiness to family life. While we don’t expect our own dog to bite, it’s important to remember any dog can bite if they feel they have no other option and children are most likely to be bitten at home, by a familiar dog. Last year, over 1,700 children were admitted to hospital with dog bites.
Luckily, most bites are also preventable. Check out the dog safety tips below put together by the Child Accident Prevention Trust.
