Injuries related to dog walking have been on the rise, with emergency room visits increasing from 7,300 to 32,300 annually from 2001 to 2020, highlighting a safety concern.
Most dog-walking injury patients are women, with adults aged 40-64 accounting for nearly half of the emergency visits, indicating that specific demographics are more vulnerable.
To protect yourself when walking a dog, focus is essential; multitasking, such as using a phone, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
The pandemic has led to an increase in dog ownership, contributing to the rise in injuries as more people engage in dog walking activities.
