What should I do if I get bitten or scratched by a dog?

A dog bite or scratch occurs when a dog's tooth or nail breaks the skin and draws blood from the victim. If you, or your dog, get bitten or scratched by a dog, call 911 immediately to report the incident. An officer will investigate the incident. See the village ordinance for more information.
