Protect Your Family from Dog Bites this Halloween

Stay safe this Halloween by understanding the dangers of increased dog bite incidents. Marko Law offers tips to protect your family and discusses legal steps to take if a bite occurs.

Protect Your Family from Dog Bites this Halloween

As the spooky season approaches, we often overlook the dangers of dog bites, especially during high-traffic trick-or-treat events. In Michigan, dog bite cases surge around Halloween due to increased foot traffic and stressed pets. Dog bites can lead to severe injuries, especially for children.

Why Dog Bites Increase During Halloween:

  • Increased Foot Traffic: Halloween night brings a flood of strangers to homes, which can trigger anxiety in even the calmest dogs.
  • Costumes & Confusion: Dogs may not recognize their owners or neighborhood children in costumes, making them more likely to act out aggressively. Masks, loud noises, and sudden movements can be distressing for pets, leading them to bite out of fear or agitation.
  • Loose Pets: With frequent door opening, pets may slip out and roam the streets, increasing the risk of encounters with strangers.
