If you or someone you know has been bitten by a dog, it is important to take the following steps:

1. Stop the bleeding: Apply pressure to the wound with a clean, dry cloth until the bleeding stops.

2. Clean the wound: Wash the wound with mild soap and warm water for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce the risk of infection.

3. Apply an antibiotic ointment: This can help reduce the risk of infection.

4. Cover the wound: Use a sterile bandage to cover the wound and keep it clean.

5. Seek medical attention: See a healthcare provider within 24 hours for any bite that breaks the skin, especially if the bite is deep, on the face, hands, fingers, feet, or if there are any signs of infection such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus.

6. Provide comfort: Calm and reassure the person who was bitten.

7. Report the bite: If the dog that bit you is unfamiliar or if the bite was unprovoked, report the bite to your local animal control agency.

It is important to note that dog bites can cause infections that need to be treated with antibiotics. Depending on the severity of the bite, you may need stitches or even surgery.
