After being bitten by a dog the very first thing you want to do is seek medical attention. You want to make sure that the dog has got its appropriate shots, that your not going to be dealing with a rabies incident. The next thing you should do is contact the police department to make sure that this dog does not have any problem with it and this dog’s appropriate papers are in place. The next thing you should do is contact the dog owner or the person in control of that dog and let them know that you want their insurance information.
