Bites and Scratches: If a dog, cat, ferret, or wild animal inflicts a bite to a human (and breaks skin), please follow these steps:

• Seek medical attention as needed
• Gather info: Owner’s phone number, name, and address
• Vaccine history or vet clinic if available
• Call Animal Control Dispatch at 413-587-1100
• Take photos of the bite wound (before and after treatment)
• Write down your statement while it’s fresh in your mind
