Here are a few tips to help you choose the right pepper spray for your needs:

  • Is it legal in your state?

This is an important first step. Pepper spray is legal in all 50 states, but there are some restrictions. Some states have age limits, and others restrict the size or strength of the pepper spray canister. Be sure to check your state's laws before making a purchase. You can check it at Laws and Legality.

  • What is your purpose?

Are you looking for self-defense Pepper Spray? Or do you want a Pepper Spray that can be used for law enforcement or military purposes? There are different types of Pepper Spray designed for different purposes, so it's important to know what you need it for before making a purchase.

  • What is the size?

Pepper Spray comes in a variety of sizes, from small keychain Pepper Sprays to large canisters. Be sure to choose a Pepper Spray that is the right size for you.

  • Do you want a handheld Pepper Spray or a Pepper Spray keychain?

Handheld Pepper Spray is typically more powerful than Pepper Spray keychains, but Pepper Spray keychains are more convenient to carry with you.

  • Do you want a Pepper Spray with a safety feature?

Some Pepper Sprays have a safety feature that prevents them from being discharged accidentally. This is a good option if you are concerned about Pepper Spray getting into the wrong hands.

  • What is the range?

Pepper Spray can have a range of 6 to 18 feet. Be sure to choose a Pepper Spray with the right range for your needs. But for Guard Dog Security, we are proud to share that all of our Pepper Sprays have a range of up to 16 feet.

  • What is the strength?

Pepper Spray is available in different strengths, from low to high. Traditional Scoville Heat Units (SHU) or OC ratings are no longer considered to be accurate measures of a pepper spray's strength. In contrast, a more reliable measure is Major Capsaicinoids (or MC), which considers both the amount and potency of the active ingredient in a pepper spray. Guard Dog Security pepper spays are formulated with 1.44MC making them one of the most powerful in the market.

  • What is your budget?

Pepper Sprays can range in price from $10 to $100 or more. Be sure to set a budget before you start shopping so you can narrow down your options.

  • Do you have any allergies?

If you have any allergies, be sure to check the ingredients of the Pepper Spray before purchasing. Some Pepper sprays contain natural ingredients, while others use synthetic ingredients.

Now that you already have an idea of what to consider before picking the right pepper spray, you can head over to our website at Guard Dog Security to check which one will suit your daily needs for safety and personal protection.
