What is dog bite?
A dog bite is a wound caused by a dog’s teeth. Even a small bite can carry bacteria, and in Turkey there is also a risk of rabies, so every bite should be taken seriously and checked rapidly.
How to lower your risk of dog bite
Do not feed, pet or approach stray dogs, never touch an unfamiliar animal, and teach children to stay away from strays.
