Royal Mail says dog warning signs are an important safety measure for delivery staff, as new figures show thousands of postal workers are injured each year in dog-related incidents.
According to the UK postal service, 2,197 dog attacks on delivery workers were recorded in the year ending March 2025, equivalent to around 42 incidents each week. The figures were released as part of its annual Dog Awareness Week campaign, which highlights risks linked to deliveries at residential properties.
