Victims of serious dog attacks often suffer acute damage, which may require $250,000 to one million dollars in medical care. Reconstructive surgery, such as skin grafting, tissue expansion and scar diminishment, requires multiple procedures over a period of time. In many instances, the dog owner pays little of this amount.

About us

DogsBite.org launched in October 2007. To our knowledge, we are the first and only resource of this kind. The "pit bull problem" is nearly 30-years old. In this time, at least 11 U.S. State Supreme and Appeals courts have ruled that pit bulls pose a greater risk to communities and can be regulated accordingly. We are a national group because this is a national problem.
