No one ever expects to be the victim of an animal attack. But, unfortunately, it happens more often than you might think. In the United States alone, there are over 4.7 million reported animal bites each year.

While the vast majority of these bites are relatively minor and will heal on their own with some basic home treatment, there are also a significant number of cases that result in serious injuries – or even death.

In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), animal attacks account for over 850,000 visits to the emergency room each year. Of those, nearly 350,000 will require some type of hospitalization for their injuries.

So, what should you do if you or a loved one is the victim of an animal attack?

First and foremost, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately – even if the injuries seem minor. Many times, animal bites can result in infections that can be extremely dangerous if left untreated.
