I would hate to use this on a family pet, If I had to? yes I would. I also know that dogs that chases down cyclist have owners that should be pepper sprayed! Like I said before. I use Pepper spray for self defense against mostly Coy dogs (A wild dog).

Coy dogs Have had the instinct to chase for many years. I don't want them to lose there freedom. I just don't want them trying to chase me.

Let them be free.
