SABREProtector Dog Spray with Key Ring, 14 Bursts, 12-Foot (4-Meter) Range, Humane Dog Attack Deterrent, Maximum Strength Allowed By EPA

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I ordered this product nearly 1.5 years ago. Fortunately, I haven't had the need to use it. Came close once, and was glad I had it with me. The plastic key ring connector recently broke. I reached out to the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement without fuss. Awesome customer service!!!

I haven’t had to use it and hope I never do. I deliver for Amazon and sometimes drivers get bit by dogs. I love dogs but having this gives me just a little bit more confidence when I’m on people’s property. I imagine it could also be useful in defending myself from other humans but don’t quote me on that. 5 stars for price and purpose.

Awesome

We haven't had to use this (but my dog and I were attacked by a pit bull a month ago, which is why I purchased it). I generally put this in a pocket when walking my dogs. I've found that the red tab, which you rotate about 30 degrees to go from 'safe' to spray mode, goes into my pocket in safe mode and comes out at the end of a walk in spray position. So far, I haven't had it spray in my clothes, but it's a risk.We also bought the Halt version, which has a belt clip. It doesn't have any kind of safety device to cover the button, or otherwise prevent spraying, so it has the same sort of risk. You need to be careful in handling these devices to avoid accidentally discharging on yourself or your dog.

Never had to use it, thankfully. I had originally thought that it expired in 2021 but it looks like the ink wore off the left hand side of the last digit, which was, upon closer inspection, a six 😂

I am naturally terrified of dogs due to childhood incidents . I bought this because my neighborhood is always filled with stray dogs whom im unfamiliar with . After a dog attack close by a few weeks ago I purchased this as a safety precaution and it literally is the confidence I needed in the event of an emergency

It only took one incident while walking with my wife, newborn, and dog, to know I would never take a walk again without this protection. While out on a walk, a large dog off a leash sprinted towards me and my family. I have a small 15 lb dog and a baby in a stroller. The dog was aggressive with my dog, and while I was able to temporarily restrain it through holding its collar, it eventually slipped the collar off and continued to be aggressive with my family until it's owners arrived in a car a few minutes later.I'm thankful no one was bit or injured, and I can't even imagine if it had been a Pitbull or Rottweiler. With that incident in mind, the only responsible thing to do is learn from it and make sure I always have protection if another stray dog comes charging at my family. I never walk without it.

I was walking in my neighborhood when I heard people yelling. When I turn around, I saw a couple with 2 white pits that were unleashed and I had a strange feeling so I grabbed my protector hanging from my neck. Suddenly, a big white pit came running over the hill, full force. As my life flashed before me and I wondered if this spray would really save me, I immediately began to spray when he was in range. With my feet planted on the ground and eyes concentrating solely on this dog I had absolutely no fear as I watched his every move in trying to bark and attack me. I emptied my entire tube of spray on this pit and he was still trying to attack me with strong energy so I continued to strike back with my umbrella. After about 5 minutes of this and the owner calling his name but never coming to get the dog or ask if I was ok, he finally swayed and ran away. After he got back to his owner, he picked him up and I left. I give this product 3 stars because it did eventually make the dog run away after a while. He did not bite me, but it took longer that I expected to deter the dog. If I didn't have my umbrella, I would have been fried chicken. If you use this product you will definitely need a defense weapon to carry with it. Otherwise, it will be too late by the time this spray actually kicks in to deter the dog. I have researched and purchased a much stronger defense. To all who have purchased this product and haven't had the chance to use it, consider this your warning. Good Luck!!!
