About dog bite
A dog bite is a wound made by a dog’s teeth. Even a small one can carry bacteria, and because rabies exists in Turkey every bite deserves prompt attention.
Causes and risk factors
A bite or scratch from a dog, frequently a stray or unfamiliar one. Bacteria from the mouth and skin may enter the wound, and rabies can spread through saliva.
Local tips for dog bite in Kaleici

Stray dogs wander beaches and hotel grounds. Do not feed or pet them, and wash any bite for 15 minutes before getting help.
