May 3rd week - National Dog Bite Prevention Week

Man and woman's best friend bites more than 4.7 million people a year. Key experts believe that public education can help prevent these bites.

The full third week of May is National Dog Bite Prevention Week and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the United States Postal Service, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are each working to educate Americans about dog bite prevention.

Visit The Humane Society of the United States for more information on how to stay dog bite free.
