California law does not mandate that every dog must be put down after it bites a person. However, in some cases, it may be required. This is typically limited to animals that are either trained to fight or have a history of injuring people. Many dog bite victims avoid pursuing a personal injury lawsuit.
The recommended first-aid procedures include immediate, thorough flushing and washing of all wounds with soap and water and application of Povidone Iodine or Antiseptic having virucidal activity. Washing of wounds is desirable up to 15 minutes and should be carried out as soon as possible with soap and water.
The report goes to the local health officer or the officers designee. It has to be made immediately. Reports must be made whenever someone is bitten in a rabies area. The director of the State Department of Health Services declares which counties of California are rabies areas.
You can report a dangerous or out of control dog to: the dog warden service run by your local council. your local police force.
