What does the notice to the owner of a biting animal include?

The notice to the owner of a biting animal typically includes instructions for a follow-up investigation. This is important because it ensures that the incident is properly documented and any necessary actions are taken to assess the situation, determine the health status of the animal, and evaluate potential risks to the public. Follow-up investigations may involve health checks for rabies or other diseases, interviews with witnesses, and gathering of further evidence regarding the biting incident.

Properly informing the owner about the follow-up process helps in dealing with public safety concerns and in enforcing regulations regarding animal behavior. This type of information is critical to managing animal control and ensuring accountability from the animal’s owner.
