Liability & Safety Tips for Dog Owners

Most dogs are friendly, loving members of the family, but even normally docile dogs may bite when they are frightened or when protecting their puppies, owners or food. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs annually, resulting in an estimated 800,000 injuries that require medical attention. More than 50% of dog bites occur on the dog owner’s property, and they account for one-third of all homeowners insurance liability claims.
