Korda was due to defend her title at the Centurion Club, Hemel Hempstead, from July 3-5, but announced on Instagram that she would be unable to play.
"I regret to announce that I must withdraw from next week's Ladies European Tour tournament in London," the 25-year-old American wrote:
"On Saturday in Seattle, I was bitten by a dog and need time to receive treatment and recover fully.
"I apologise to the LET, the sponsors and my fans for my absence. Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to returning to the course soon."
Korda won six times in seven starts earlier this season but has missed the cut in her last three events.
