Toronto Animal Services staff will support you by walking you through the process after you've been bitten by a dog. An Animal Care and Control Officer will confirm the bite, request the victim and any witness prepare a written statement detailing the biting incident, request medical documentation describing the bite wound/injury and continue the investigation.

A public health inspector will attend within 24 hours of receiving the report to quarantine the offending dog. 

The following are actions that may be taken:

Issue a Notice of Caution: 警告 

Where this is the first bite on record - recommend precautions to prevent future biting incidents.
初めての場合

Issue a Notice to Muzzle: マズル着用 @公共の場

Where the bite is severe, and/or the bite is the second subsequent bite on record.
二度目の場合、または、咬み傷が深い場合

Under Municipal Code Chapter 349, Toronto Animal Services can issue a notice to muzzle. A Notice to Muzzle requires that the dog be muzzled at all times when off the owner's property.

Request a Hearing: 要求を聴取

An owner who is served with a Notice of Caution or a Notice to Muzzle is entitled to a hearing by the Executive Director who may confirm the Notice or exempt the owner from the muzzling requirements.
