🐈Choosing the best dog repeller in 2020

In 2020, the media is overwhelmed with reports of attacks by street dogs. The greatest danger to humans is not the bite itself, but its consequences. After all, a dog has a lot of bacteria in its mouth. In addition, they can be carriers of various diseases that require long and expensive treatment. In order to protect yourself from the attack of a stray animal, you need to have a special device with you. What repellents are there and which one is better to buy The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" has compiled a rating of the best dog repellents in 2020.

Types of dog repeller

All repellents are classified according to the principle of operation and direct action on animals. They are divided into:

• gas;
• ultrasonic;
• electrical.

Gas repellents

A gas repeller involves spraying a caustic substance into the dog's face. Getting on the mucous membrane, the chemical causes severe irritation and pain, forcing the animal to leave the territory. The composition of the can depends on the model and manufacturer. The gas device can be:

• inkjet;
• aerosol.

In the second version, the device creates a gas cloud. The animal must inhale the chemical. When using it, it is better to cover your nose and mouth with your hand, and after pressing, move away from the created gas cloud. Under no circumstances should an aerosol can be used indoors and against the wind.

The good thing about a jet repeller is that when using it, it will be safe for you, if you exclude accidental contact of gas in your eyes. Such a can is intended for targeting the aggressor in the face. The downside is that the repeller acts at a fairly short distance, so you will need to have contact with the animal to use it.

Ultrasonic devices

The ultrasonic repeller sends a powerful signal when pressed. The frequency used by the device is completely safe for humans, but scares away dogs. As they get closer, it seems to them that the sound gets stronger. This causes them great discomfort, so they prefer to either walk away or keep at a distance.

The frequency and distance that the signal can reach depends on the selected model and manufacturer. The most optimal is in the range from 24.3 kHz to 40 kHz. Ultrasound device is the best option for kids self-defense.

Electrical devices

Electric dog repellers are not in great demand, since in order to protect yourself from an attack, you need to act specifically on the animal. In other words, this can only be done by approaching the aggressor. However, if a dog attacks a person, he may simply get confused or accidentally drop the device.

An electric repeller works on the principle of a conventional stun gun. Upon impact, the animal feels severe pain, forcing it to flee. However, there were cases when, when using a current discharge, the dog not only did not get scared, but also became much more aggressive than before.
