AARF Speaker Series at the Woodbridge Library

AARF PRESENTS LIBRARY SPEAK SERIES PROMOTING POSITIVE PET OWNERSHIP

All speakers will be at Woodbridge Library in the main meeting room.

On May 16 Dr. Tracy Johnson, Country Companion Veterinary Services, will discuss Dog Bites and how to prevent them from happening. This talk is geared toward children and will take place from 6 to 7 p.m.

Many dogs are given up or euthanized because they bite.  Biting can happen for many reasons and if owners don't know how to read a dog's body language, they may be putting themselves or their children at risk   The “Be a Tree Program”  is a great way to present the information on how to interact with a dog to prevent bites."  Dog bites to children are considered to be a serious public health problem by public health agencies and veterinary medical associations worldwide. Statistics show that most bites are by the family dog or other dog known to the child. Public education has an important role in reducing dog bite risk to children.
