Category: Dog Bites

After a dog bite in Pennsylvania, get to safety, wash the wound, seek medical care, report the bite, identify the dog and owner, ask about rabies vaccination, photograph the injuries, save evidence, and avoid speaking with the insurance company before understanding your rights. Pennsylvania law requires dog owners or keepers to keep dogs confined, secured, or under reasonable control, and medical treatment costs caused by an attacking or biting dog must be paid by the dog’s owner or keeper.
