Now that the bleeding has stopped, it's time to clean the wound with some soap and water. And by soap, I mean gentle soap, not that harsh stuff you use to scrub your garage floor. You want to be gentle, like you're washing a delicate flower - or in this case, a delicate dog bite.
Did you know that dog bites can be pretty dirty? Like, they can contain up to 100 different types of bacteria, which is just gross. So, make sure to rinse the wound thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water, and pat it dry with a clean towel - don't rub it, you're not trying to start a fire.
