My neighbor's dog has developed a blood taste for Milady's kittens.
When it brakes out of the invisible fence, the dog makes a bee line up

My neighbor and I are close friends. His kids adore that dog. So I
need to come up with something non lethal and preferably no large vet
bill.

Anyway, I've heard of filling a 12 gauge shell with rock salt from the
water softener. Will shooting an animal with this just barely break
the skin, my goal? What range? I know if I'm too close serious injury
could result. Anyone with experience here?

One simple question, should I re-seal the top of the shell with melted
paraffin? Or another way?

It is really your neighbor's problem. But...I would approach him with
"what can WE do about this?" But, be prepared for a response of "while
we are on the subject, what can WE do about your cats crapping in my
flower bed?"

That would be your responsiblity but an easy fix. There are repellant
granules.

I vote for turning up the invisible fence collar first.
