Why Can’t I Use My Regular Pepper Spray Against a Dog?
Dog spray is designed to temporarily incapacitate an aggressive dog by irritating its eyes, nose, and ears, without causing long-term damage if used correctly. Only pepper spray that has been approved for use on dogs by the EPA can be used to deter an attacking dog. Regular SABRE Pepper Sprays, Pepper Gels and Advanced 3-IN-1 Formulation Self-Defense Sprays have not been approved by the EPA to deter attacking animals - only Protector Dog Spray by SABRE has been approved for use as a Dog Attack Deterrent. If you wish to use a SABRE product to deter attacking dogs, you should only use SABRE Protector Dog Spray.
