What you should know if your dog is attacked by another dog

It is important to know what to do if your dog attacks, or is attacked by, another dog.

Sales of dogs reached an all-time high in 2020, with people looking for companionship and spending plenty of time out on walks. Reportedly 34% of UK households had at least one dog last year.

However, owning a dog comes with responsibility. It’s against the law to allow your dog to be dangerous or out of control anywhere such as in a public place, in private, as in a garden or a house, or even in its owner’s home, and this applies to all dogs. A dog is considered ‘dangerously out of control’ if it injures someone or makes someone worried that it might do, reports LancsLive.
