Dog Safety Matters
Dog bites are a serious but preventable issue, and children are the most common victims.
500,000 Dog Bites
In Canada, over 500,000 dog bites occur annually, with children under 10 being the most affected.
Familiar Dogs
Most bites happen at home or with familiar dogs, often due to misunderstandings of canine behavior.
Educate
Studies show that proper education can significantly reduce dog bite incidents by teaching children how to safely approach and interact with dogs.
What We Do: Interactive Dog Safety Education
