Royal Mail Dog Awareness

Royal Mail are trying to reduce the number of dog attacks on their postmen and postwomen and are sharing the current issues they face:

• 2,200 dog attacks on Royal Mail postmen and postwomen across the UK in 2023-2024, that's at least six attacked every day.
• The majority of attacks happen when the customer opens the door to get a signature for delivery.
• Lots of dog attacks occurred when dogs were left alone in the garden or not supervised when postal workers are delivering.
• Some attacks led to permanent and disabling injuries.

Please ensure your dog is secure.
