Is hydrochloric acid repulsive to dogs?

Answer 1

Hydrochloric acid has a strong odor and I would suspect it would be repulsive to dogs. It is a very strong acid and can be dangerous/harmful to the animal. I would not recommend that you use it as a repellent. There are natural products on the market to repel dogs if this is what you are looking for that do not harm the animal.

Hydrochloric acid has a strong, pungent odor that may be off-putting to dogs. Ingesting hydrochloric acid can be very harmful to dogs, causing burns to the mouth, throat, and stomach, as well as potentially leading to serious medical issues. It is important to keep all potentially toxic substances, including hydrochloric acid, out of reach of pets.
