Will the FoxWatch Ultrasonic Deterrent affect my dogs?

Whether or not the FoxWatch Ultrasonic Deterrent Unit will have an effect on dogs is a very common and understandable question that we get from a lot of dog owners who have a fox problem but want to double-check the FoxWatch is ok to use with dogs first.

As many of you may know foxes and dogs are both members of the Canidae biological family and, as a result, they share many common features such as a similar hearing range.

The FoxWatch emits a sound that is between 40-45 kHz, so it is within a dogs hearing range and dogs are able to hear it, although us humans cannot.

Dogs quickly get used to the FoxWatch but foxes do not

However, in most circumstances, a dog owner who installs a FoxWatch finds that, although their dog may bark the first few times the FoxWatch is triggered, they soon get used to it as just another household noise.

The FoxWatch is something new in the garden that is making a new noise, so naturally a dog will initially be inquisitive.

Foxes on the other hand, are wild animals who are constantly on the lookout for threats to themselves and their territories, so the FoxWatch is very successful at providing this threat at all times, causing the fox to flee and teaching the fox that your garden is not a place it can feel comfortable or worth attempting to enter.

The best analogy is to think of the FoxWatch as a fox burglar alarm or the fox equivalent of fingers scratching down a blackboard.

Dogs are often calmer once foxes are out of the garden

So, in short, many dog owners successfully use the FoxWatch to keep foxes away without causing any disruption to their dogs.

A dog, when it is in the garden, is actually a very good natural fox deterrent and it’s worth encouraging your dog to pee in places you’ve seen a fox.

It’s when dogs are indoors or away from home that foxes living nearby may try to venture into the garden. Installing a FoxWatch means there is a deterrent working for you at all times

Additionally, we often get feedback from dog owners that their dogs were previously barking far more when they saw a fox come into the garden, than they do once a FoxWatch is installed and doing its job.

It can also provide peace of mind to many owners of smaller breeds of dog who are worried about potential fox attacks, however small the threat.

Many dog owners use the FoxWatch successfully

Hopefully this information has provided you with more information on how the FoxWatch operates and put your mind at ease about using the FoxWatch with your dog.

Often it’s a case of installing the device and seeing what happens. It’s also worth pointing out that the sound emitted by the unit doesn’t do any ‘harm’ to dogs, foxes or any other animal.

It’s merely a means of shocking the fox sneaking into your garden in order to make it run to a place of safety, preferably out of your garden.
