Dogs are an important part of our lives.They are our best friends and guardians, they offer us their company and we think of them as part of the family.

But, why would a dog bite us?
It’s usually because dogs and humans communicate in different languages. Because we don’t understand dog language, we can create situations that may lead a dog to bite us. But if we learn to behave responsibly around dogs, we can avoid situations that result in being bitten. Dogs don’t bite without a reason. They might bite because they feel scared, pain or frustration.
They might also bite when they want to defend their territory or when they have not been socialised with people or other animals.

Reducing rabies risk

By preventing bites, we will not only reduce the incidences of unpleasant and painful attacks, we will also reduce the risk of contracting rabies.
