Most beach dogs are harmless and vaccinated by NGOs (look for a clipped ear), but night packs can be aggressive. If bitten or even scratched, wash the wound with soap and water for 15 minutes immediately. Sri Lanka takes rabies seriously. Every major government General Hospital stocks the rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) vaccine, and it is free for tourists. Go immediately.

Do not run if they bark at you. Stand your ground and pretend to pick up a rock. They will run away.

I got nipped in Weligama. The hospital sorted me out in 20 minutes. Very professional.
