PetSafe SprayShield Animal Deterrent Spray (2.4 Oz / 71 ML) Dog Spray Self Defense Compact Design for Portability, Belt Clip for Easy Carry, Releases Surprising Burst, Citronella

I have a reactive dog, so I bought this after being chased by several off-leash dogs in my neighborhood. Now, I don’t walk without it. It is a great deterrent. One spray, and the dogs turn around and leave us alone.

This just saved me and my dog!!I was walking my dog when I saw a dog beeline it straight toward us. It snarled and started coming after my dog. This dog was trying to get to my dog's neck. Since the pet corrector was clipped to my treat bag, I was able to get it out and spray the dog. The dog instantly retreated. It smelled like essential oils, so even getting it on my dog didn't harm anything.I'm so thankful it worked! It saved my dog from a major vet bill and possibly me from getting bit!

Luckily I have not had to actually use this product yet so I cannot attest to how it works to deter another animal. I bought it to bring on walks in my neighborhood as there are occasionally loose dogs out and there are a ton of reactive dogs in my neighborhood and I'm always scared that one of them will get away from the owner and I wanted something to protect my dog with. The size is small so that it is convenient to carry in my pouch and lightweight. The red switch that you flip is easy to use. If I feel threatened I've taken it out and held it with the switch on the on position and it's super easy to do that in an emergency. I like that there's an off and on so you don't accidentally spray yourself.

Es un excelente producto. Recientemente estuve trotando y corriendo, no obstante, tres perros se acercaron ladrando e intentado rodearme. Uno de ellos vino hacia mi intentando atacarme, cuando se acercó a toda velocidad, rocié el producto e inmediatamente salió disparado en otra dirección y no volvió aparecer. Los otros dos perros al ver la reacción del que me atacó se alejaron y huyeron.

This is yet another worthless product sold on Amazon. The belt clip is cheap and unusable, so I put it in my front cargo pants pocket where the safety unlocked and sprayed, soaking my pants. In addition to leaking in my pants, leg, and groin, it didn't burn or irritate my skin in the slightest. In fact, the substance had a mild laundry detergent-like smell. Other than the malfunctioning spray, the substance won't be a deterrent for anything, much less an aggressive dog. I will be filing a complaint with the FTC regarding this product.

I ordered this spray two years ago because I’m a dog walker and it provided peace of mind in case anything ever happened.Dog owners of the neighborhood! A couple important things to be aware of!Just now I was walking two leashed dogs in a park that is adjacent to a beach. A stout, unleashed pitbull gunned it from the beach and tried attacking the dogs I was walking.I carry a this dog deterrent spray with me, but over years have never had to use it. I managed to pull it from my bag in time and sprayed the dog like crazy. The deterrent worked, the dog was stunned for a moment and retreated long enough for the owner to grab him. This spray likely saved me or the dogs from being badly injured.Citronella deterrent spray is amazing. Anyone can get it at pet stores or on Amazon. You can use it and be confident that while the dog will HATE that it is happening, it may provide a chance to get into a safer spot with your dogs

We have used this spray more than once to stop a bad situation from escalating. This review isn’t speculation, it’s from experience and the TLDR is you should be carrying this on every walk.First, let’s talk about what it is NOT. It is NOT pepper spray. That is both good and bad.The good news is that you will not do any damage or cause pain to yourself, your dog, or any other animal. The bad news is that because it does not cause pain, it may not be effective at stopping a truly red-zoned attack.What it DOES do is produce a decent strength stream of pressurized water with a slight citronella scent. It’s designed to annoy and deter by interrupting the situation. Think of it as a quick blast from a super soaker.It’s very easy to use, just flick and press. Aim for the head and you do not need to worry about hitting your own dog as again, it is not pepper spray. It’s best when used before an encounter gets physical.We have a husky that is always on leash. Unfortunately it seems there are far too many people who ignore leash laws despite not having any recall and can’t tell when their dog is being aggressive (and as any husky owner knows, huskies seem to trigger an abnormal number of aggressive reactions from other dogs). A squirt from this results in a confused sputtering dog, but no yelps of pain and no trips to the vet.We’ve used this 3-4 times, and it has defused the encounter every time.Only downside? The clip adhesive is awful. Get some super glue or a pouch, because it’s a “when” it detaches, not “if”.

Although this may work on an approaching or less-aggressive dog, it is NOT for use to break up fights, or if the dog is very aggressive. We unloaded the whole can directly in the eyes and mouth of a dog who had a firm bite grip on another dog, and it did absolutely no good. In fact, it didn't even have a smell and the dog's eyes and mouth weren't irritated in the least. It is possibly only good for the what's on the label - repellent - but not likely on really aggressive dogs.
