DogsBite logo   Over 150 dog breeds populate the US. Studies show that two breeds account for nearly 70% of bites that end in death and serious injury. We must regulate these breeds or risk the safety of our families and pets.
 
 

Welcome ::

DogsBite.org is a national dog bite victims group dedicated to reducing serious dog attacks by creating common sense laws. Through our work, we hope to protect both people and pets from future attacks.

Dog bite victims

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 over 20-years old. In this time, at least 10 US State Supreme 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.
