DVMF SAYS DATA SHOWS

Bite cases in Cebu City are more rampant among house dogs than strays, said Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries (DVMF) head Dr. Alice Utlang.

In an interview yesterday, Utlang said they have received reports of dog bite cases but don’t have the data yet, as it is only available with the Cebu City Health Department.

Despite this, Utlang clarified that contrary to what has been reported, bite cases are more common among house dogs than stray dogs, which are usually linked to rabies cases. She added that based on diagnostic clinics, most rabies cases originate from house dogs, not roaming dogs.

“Even the bite cases, mas daghang namaak sa house dogs kaysa sa roaming dogs, or stray dogs,” said Utlang.
