Dog Bite Britain

Following on from my blog post this week about dogs that bite, an article has been published about the a surge in dog bite injuries. You may have heard the horrific case of a grandmother dying after being attacked by the neighbour’s dogs. Children’s hospitals are also reporting a huge rise in bite injuries. Without a doubt this is as a result of lockdown – too many lockdown puppies with inexperienced owners, too many dogs with no basic training, too few people considering the needs of their dogs when they are all in the house all day. You can read the whole article here:
