Animal
repellents are used for preventing confrontations with animals
such as canines or bears. The most common animal repellent is
a dog repellent. Every day, people are accosted by dogs that
have gotten loose off their chains or were never secured at
all.
The canine may
be responding to what he or she thinks is an invasion of their
territory or the dog may feel threatened in some other way.
Threatened dogs will often bite no matter what their breed or
size. This occurs most often for delivery people. The
opportunity for an animal attack is greater due to the nature
of your job. Check with your department on their policies for
carrying animal repellents.
Bear encounters
can be even more dangerous. Because of their massive size, it
is very easy for a bear to overpower a person and seriously
injure or even kill them. Usually bears attack when they are
suprised or are protecting their young. Carrying a
bear repellent on
all your trips while in bear country is just common sense and
should be a permanent item on your packing list. Keep your bear
spray in the holster on your side for easy and fast access when
you need it.
If you have any questions on the use of any of
our animal repellents, please feel free to ask
us.
