Average Value – Was Attacked by a Dog at a VRBO
The average value of an animal bite or animal attack is $100,000 to over $350,000, depending on the severity of the animal bite. Each case is unique and will fall either on the lower end of this range or the upper end, depending on the seriousness of the animal bite.
VRBO – Animal Attack
People are constantly attacked by animals when staying at a VRBO rental. This is because there are many wild and unleashed domesticated animals in residence at a VRBO rental home. If you rent a VRBO rental home, and walk around the property or go for a walk in the area, you will not be familiar with animals that are allowed to run loose in the area where you are staying. For that reason, it may be the responsibility of the VRBO rental home owner to fence in the yard, or otherwise protect the property from wild or otherwise unleased domesticated animals from coming onto the property and attacking you as the renter on the premises.
Animal attacks and dog bites can be deadly if the bacteria from a dog’s mouth gets into the wound to infect it. Dogs are known to bite quite frequently to people who the animal does not know, and some dogs have a high propensity anyway to bite strangers even when unprovoked.

How to Tell If an Animal Bite Is Infected?
Infected animal bites can lead to a serious condition or even death. If an infected animal bite is not treated, it can turn into other serious symptoms, such as sepsis. An infected animal bite may manifest as showing:
- Redness
- Pain
- Swelling
- Inflammation
- Pus
- Mucus at the wound
- Foul smells
All infected animal bites need to be seen by a professional healthcare provider, and be treated with oral, topical or intravenous antibiotics. Any infection that is allowed to run rampant in a person’s body can become serious and even fatal. There may also be the need for a tetanus shot, or a rabies shot if the animal has rabies or is suspected of being rabid.
Animal Bites Can Be Dangerous for Humans
Animal bites are dangerous for humans, because the infections of an animal can move rapidly through your bloodstream, affecting your major organs if bitten by an animal. Your animal bite is serious if you see:
- Difficulty moving your area of the body around the bite
- Drainage of pus around the bite
- Increased swelling
- Red streaks around the arm near a bite
- Enlarged lymph nodes
- Fever

Wild Animal Attack and Bite
Any time you stay at a VRBO rental, you are not expected to be bitten by a wild animal. The owners of the VRBO rental need to take the reasonable precautions to secure the property from the coming on of any wild animals in the area. For example, the owners of a VRBO rental know that their property is susceptible to being attacked by mountain lions, if they border lands where those types of animals are sighted in the past, or seen presently on the property.
