Contact Our Woodlands Dog Bite Lawyer at Attorney Brian White Personal Injury Lawyers for Help After a Dog Bite Every year, millions of people are [bitten by dogs](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/the-woodlands-tx/dog-bite-lawyer/), and tens of thousands of [animal bite victims](https://www.dshs.texas.gov/disease-surveillance-epidemiology-section/zoonosis-control/animal-bites/dog-bites/) suffer [personal injuries](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/the-woodlands-tx/personal-injury-lawyer/) that require medical treatment. Fortunately, The Woodlands, Texas, is served by two proactive animal control service agencies that are extremely safety-focused. If you notice a stray or aggressive animal in your community, do your part by contacting animal control right away—doing so may just prevent someone from suffering an animal bite. ## The Importance of Animal Control Services Animal control primarily deals with the following: - Stray animals - Barking dog complaints - Wildlife concerns  If you have a simple issue involving one of your neighbors’ pets, such as frequent barking or concerns about them not being on a leash, contacting the pet owner first is typically the easiest way to resolve things.  If your neighbor refuses to (or is unable to) resolve the problem, you can then escalate the concern to animal control. However, if the animal is actively creating a safety hazard, you shouldn’t wait; instead, contact animal control immediately.

Calling the appropriate agency can reduce delays and resolve the concern quickly.  ### Report Stray or Aggressive Animals If you are calling about a stray or aggressive animal, provide details about the behavior you observe. If the issue primarily involves a nuisance, such as a dog barking at all hours of the night, animal control may not respond immediately. As such, you may want to explore alternative solutions if the animal you’re calling about is neither a stray nor aggressive; for example, if you live in an HOA, consider filing a noise complaint through its proper channels.  ### Provide as Much Detail as Possible When connected to animal control, share any information the officers ask for.  Some details you’ll want to mention include the following: - The location of the animal - A description (i.e., color, size, and breed) of the animal - The animal’s direction of travel (if it doesn’t stay still) Don’t attempt to approach or catch the animal yourself, especially if they are behaving aggressively; you don’t want to put yourself at risk of being bitten.  ## Handling Wildlife Issues County animal control agencies may refer wildlife cases to the Texas Wildlife Commission. If necessary, simply notify either the Harris or Montgomery County animal control agency, and they will refer the issue to the state.  [Click to contact](/contact-us/) us today ## Help Keep Yourself And Others Safe Animal control services in The Woodlands help keep the entire community safe.
