We have a new puppy and she is going through the very bitey stage. She has drawn blood on many occasions to my husband and I, and now I'm starting to worry about tetanus. I had the normal shots as a child but that's it. I know it's very rare, but are we at risk? Is it worth phoning the GP? Damn anxiety 😓

They are like little piranhas when they are at that stage and boy does it hurt.

No, you will not get tetanus from her.

If possible try to keep a soft toy handy that you can re-direct her teeth onto to save you some bloodshed.

Have fun with your new puppy.
