Potential Dangers of Dog Bites

Dog bites can lead to a wide range of complications - ranging from immediate physical injuries to long-term psychological effects. The injuries resulting from a dog bite can include:

  • Lacerations and Puncture Wounds: Dog bites can cause deep puncture wounds and lacerations, which can damage muscles, tendons, and nerves. 
  • Fractures and Crush Injuries: The force of a dog’s bite can crush bones - especially in children and elderly people. 
  • Scarring and Disfigurement: Dog bites - especially to the face or hands - can result in significant scarring and disfigurement - requiring extensive reconstructive surgery. 

In severe cases, dog bites can lead to life-threatening infections like tetanus, rabies, and sepsis. 

Apart from this, a ferocious dog attack can cause anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder and affect your mental health and well-being significantly.
