Dog Repellant is a Real Life Saver

While many of us are primarily concerned with human attackers when we consider personal safety devices, particularly Mace and pepper spray based products, but there is another potential assailant lurking America’s streets that make it worth carrying protection with you at all times.

With millions of dogs living in America’s homes and even more roaming the streets, the potential for a canine attack is greater than ever, and attacks can result in nasty flesh wounds, infections such as rabies and tetanus, physical disability and disfigurement, or even death. If you’ve ever been faced with a 150 pound trained killer knocking you down and biting your face and neck, you already know that when a large dog attacks its victim, there is little that can be done to ward off the fierce combination of size, strength, and sharp teeth.

Carrying a self defense device such as pepper spray can effectively protect you and your family from attacks from canine assailants, with a product that delivers a debilitating concoction of pepper spray into the eyes and mouth of a dog, which causes belabored breathing and temporary blindness long enough for victims to escape to safety.

In addition to dogs, mountain lions, bears, and even rabid cats and raccoons can pose real threat to humans, and as the natural habitats of these wild animals becomes more and more developed into suburbs and shopping malls, we are faced with potential encounters at a growing rate.
