PPS-Safety

Summer is here and we all want to go for a walk…

You must be cautious when your out and about. Not only are there predetors of the two legged variety, but also of the four legged variety as well. Yes, I’m talking about Dogs, Canines (K9), or Coyotes. More and more, I have people calling and asking what I can recommend for aggressive dogs or coyotes that are roming their neighborhoods. A good pepper spray is all you really need. Most brands of Animal Repellent Sprays are the same potentcy as pepper spray that you would use on a human criminal, but it has been approved by the EPA for use in the enviroment. Just spray alittle in the air, upwind of the animal and they will get a good wiff of if. If they decide to continue to advance, spray them directly in the face, in the same manner that you would a human. This is definately enough to stop the most aggressive animals. You can alternativly use your Animal Spray on a human attacker just as you could use your normal pepper spray against an animal.

Remember, think safety while your out walking. There are more than just one type of threat you might encounter.
