What Should I do First After Being Bitten by A Dog?

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