An animal bite even from your own pet dog, cat, hamster, guinea pig, ferret or parakeet could be dangerous. If the bite breaks the skin, bacteria in the animals saliva can cause infection. If an animal bite breaks the skin, doesn't stop bleeding, or if it puffs up or is red and painful, get medical attention immediately. You may need a tetanus shot.
