An electronic dog repeller is one of those items that many people probably have never even considered purchasing because most people assume that dog bites are so rare that such precautions don’t even enter their mind. I have some dog attack statistics that might surprise you. They certainly surprised me.
• Each day 1,000 United States citizens require emergency care due to dog bites.
• The average cost of a dog bite-related hospital stay was $18,200.
• There were 4 times as many dog bite-related ED visits and 3 times as many hospital stays in rural areas than in urban areas.
• 42% of dog bites in 2001 (a bit outdated I know) occurred among children aged 14 years and younger; injury rates were highest among children aged 5-9 years and were significantly higher for boys than for girls.
My point in bringing up these statistics is that dog attacks do happen and probably with a much higher frequency than you would think. I am quite certain that everyone knows of somebody who has been bitten by a dog. I myself have been bitten by a friend’s dog and was fortunate that the dog in question was a little one that didn’t pack much of a punch. So when we are aware that a tragic and potentially fatal event can occur at any time and place it would behoove us to take precautions, especially when such precautions can be so affordable and easily obtained. An electronic dog repeller is a wonderfully effective means of preventing canine attack and a decent one should run you about one tenth of one percent of what the average emergency room visit will cost you due to a dog bite.
Electronic dog repellers are also completely safe as they do not operate by emitting an electric charge or pepper based defensive spray that could be harmful to both the dog and more importantly the human operating the device. They work first and foremost by emitting a super-high frequency sound (20,000Hz-25,000Hz). So high that it is only audible to the dog. The second way they work is by using a super bright flashing strobe light that confuses and can temporarily confuse the dog. The fact that these devices are small, light and compact make them ideal for people out walking or jogging alone in the evening hours. So please make sure that you are prepared and protected from such events by acquiring such a device.
Stay Safe,
