Dog Bite Classifications

There are four types of dog bite classifications, with the first being unreported dog bites. The other three are minor dog bites, serious to severe dog bites, and fatal dog bites.

• Minor Bites – A minor dog bite does not typically leave lasting physical effects. A minor bite might include a bruise or even a small break in the skin from the dog’s teeth. Many times, this type of bite only requires a good cleaning, as well as a possible antibiotic. Sometimes the emotional price of a minor bite could be more serious than anything else.
• Serious to Severe Bites – A serious to severe bite is one that results in a deep puncture, a laceration, or an avulsion. These injuries typically require surgery or suturing. On some occasions, these types of dog bites require hospitalization. A minor bite that becomes infected and requires hospitalization could also be classified as a serious to severe dog bite.
• Fatal Bites – On very rare occasions, dog bites cause death. Whether the death was instant, or the result of a lasting injury, it can be linked to the dog bite and someone should be held accountable.
