![]() Unfortunately, there are over 4.5 million dog bites that require medical treatment in the United States each year, and most of the victims are children. Here are a few simple strategies that can help prevent your child or your dog from adding to the statistics. Young children should never be left unattended with a dog, even a loved family pet. When my daughter was 9 months old she hit our dog on the nose 3 times before I could stop her. 3 times! After the third time Maggie snarled and snapped the air in my daughter's direction and my daughter immediately started crying. If I had not been present to see what happened I would have blamed my dog for what was actually a very restrained response on her part.

Children who lived with pets (but especially dogs) throughout their first year of life really had a superior immune system than those who did not, according to recent research in pediatric health. They think that growing up among dogs may have helped their immune systems mature more quickly. Additionally, compared to children who did not live with dogs, they required a shorter course of antibiotics when they were sick.
