In 2023, approximately 4.5 million people in the U.S. were bitten by dogs, with children aged 5-9 being at the highest risk. Over 50% of all dog bite victims are children, and the majority of bites occur on the owner's property. Among the breeds involved in the most severe incidents, pit bulls, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers account for about 75% of reported bites. Male dogs, especially those that are not neutered, are more likely to bite than female dogs.
Dog bites can also be costly. The average insurance claim for a dog bite in 2023 was $64,555, and fatalities from dog attacks range from 30 to 50 annually in the U.S. States like California, Florida, Texas, and New York report the highest number of dog bite claims.
These statistics highlight the importance of education and prevention training to reduce risks, and increase the safety of those who work around dogs.
