We talk about the truth behind dog bites here. Dog bites are always a difficult topic, so we are incredibly lucky to have Professor Carri Westgarth on this Pet Chat episode. We discuss the cause of dogs biting, what you should do if you are bitten or your dog bites someone, and steps you can take to reduce the risk of a dog bite. We also discuss the topic of banning certain dog breeds and things to consider about this topic.  Carri works full time in research and  teaching at the University of Liverpool School of Veterinary Science.
