What is the first step in treating a dog bite?

If the dog has been bitten, if the injury is not serious, remove the hair from the injured area and rinse the wound with plenty of water or saline for at least five minutes. After rinsing, disinfect the wound and apply antibacterial medication, bandage the wound with an Elizabethan ring if necessary. If there is a lot of bleeding apply pressure with gauze to stop the bleeding and take to hospital for treatment.
