What can you do, as a customer and a pet owner?

Plenty.

  • Recognize that you are the key person responsible for controlling your pet.
  • Teach each of your family members what they can do to help prevent dog bites.
  • Make a commitment to control your pet.
  • Let your letter carrier know you are taking action to protect him or her against bites.

Not only does the law require it, so does the Postal Service. Failure to control your pet can result in loss of delivery service!

But more than that: you owe it to yourself, and to your pet, to prevent the pain, lost work time, and general hassle that follows when your dog takes advantage of summer dog days (or any other days) to harm a letter carrier who is trying to perform a service to your household.

Keep your per leashed, fenced, or confined.
