Let’s help reduce dog attacks

The Queensland Government is asking veterinarians to support efforts to reduce dog attacks.

Veterinarians can improve safety by promoting responsible dog ownership.

While in public, dog owners must:

• keep their dog on a leash, unless in an off-leash area
• ensure their dog is effectively controlled
• be able to control their dog using a voice command in off-leash areas.

Keeping children safe

Most dog attacks involving children occur in homes, so it is important children are supervised around dogs.
