FACTS: *Sources: Centers for Disease Control and Insurance Information Institute

• Most dogs are friendly but even normally docile dogs may bite when they are frightened or surprised.
• 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs annually, resulting in 80,000 injuries that require medical attention.
• 50% of dog bites occur on a dog owner's property*.
• Dog bites account for 33% of all homeowners insurance liability claims.

PROBLEM:

• Dog owners loathe the cheap plastic signs that make their dogs out to be dangerous or labeled as viscous.
• Dog owners have looked for years to find tasteful signs for their gates and fences. Retail outlets generally stock only the plastic generic signs that homeowners will not buy.
• Homeowners need to be proactive in protecting their property and the people who service their property, but until they find an acceptable sign, no action is taken.

APPROACH:

• Instead of waiting for your policyholders to find and post their properties it makes better sense for your company to help your policyholders obtain these signs.
• There are several levels of how your company can get involved to help eliminate dog bite claims.
