Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 33 patients bitten by dogs who came for treatment at Vietnam's second level field hospital, Nam Xu Dang during the period from October 2018 to June 2023.


Results: There were 33 patients bitten by dogs in our study, 26 (78.8%) were male, and 21.2% were female. The stray dog causes bites in 28 patients (84.8%). Injuries in arms - forearms are most common with 12 patients (36.4%). Perforated damage accounted for the highest proportion of 25 patients (75.8%). Washing and dressing wounds were performed in 19 patients (57.6%). All patients recover completely after 21 days, there is no case of tetanus or rabies. There are 03 patients (9.1%) with superficial infections.
