Let’s help reduce dog attacks
06 Mar 2025The 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.
