A Bully-type dog is thought to have been involved in the attack, and it was seized.
Two other dogs at the property were also taken away, the police said.
The dogs’ breed is yet to be confirmed.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: ‘We were called at 2.38am today by colleagues at the North West Ambulance Service to an address in Havelock Street, Blackpool, to a report two people had been attacked by a dog.
‘Officers attended and found that a man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s had suffered dog bite injuries. They were taken to hospital for treatment.
‘A bully-type dog involved in the attack has been seized, as have two other dogs at the premises.’
Armed officers stormed on a residential street in Hartlepool two weeks ago after a pack of dogs escaped and attacked people, including a mum protecting her baby.
The mum said she was about to enter her home, where her 14-month-old baby and two other children were in the corridor, when three German Shepherds lunged at her.
Her neighbour, Scott Holliday, witnessed the attack and fought off the animals as they ‘ragged’ him around.
