Dog Repellents – Chase Away the Not-So Friendly Fido
Did you know that an average of 800,000 dog bites happen every year and 1 out of every 6 requires medical attention? source
And if you thought only Mr. Postman is prone to dog bites, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one American has a one in 50 chance of getting bitten by a dog each year.
Okay, enough of the gory details. So what I’m saying is, you will never know when a dog, although provoked by your unintentional noise or any other reason can make you a part of the statistic.
So what might be of help in avoiding having to go to the emergency room for a dog bite case?
One is never approach a stray dog. You don’t know if it’s been vaccinated or if it’s sick with anything.
Do not be too close to a dog. No matter how cute you find that new poodle of your neighbour, it’s better to be safe than never. Give the li’l doggie some space or it might force you to get some new stitches on your face.
If you see a nursing, sleeping or eating dog, resist the temptation of getting too near. It will feel threatened and you know animal instinct, right?
Use dog repellers. One is known as the Dog Chaser. It deters unfriendly canines with the help of ultrasonic technology. It sends off a discomforting but harmless, high frequency sound that can be heard by dogs. There’s also a dog repellent spray, which works like Mace for dogs. This dog repellent device works like a pepper spray.
And as always, prevention is still better than cure. As much as possible, stay away from dogs you are not familiar with. Stay safe and Happy New Year, everyone!
