HALT 91427 Dog Spray, Red

I bought a couple cans of Halt back in 2020 AFTER a dog attack on my dog and I. I never had used either can all these years (it is now 2025). Someone new moved into the neighborhood that I walk my dog in and their dog keeps jumping the fence and getting out. This new dog has bitten two other dogs in my neighborhood and has approached my dog a few times but the dog was ok. This morning however, the dog came charging full speed at my dog and I. Luckily I had brought my HALT dog spray on the walk. When the dog was 2 feet from my dog, I sprayed the dog with my can of HALT. (Thank goodness the can still worked after all these years of never using it!) Thank you HALT for your product. You saved my dog and myself from injury!IT WORKED! The dog did a quick reversal and walked away!

Conveniently hangs on my belt for quick access! I’ve had to use it a couple of times for dogs. After one spray all I have to do is reach for it and the dogs back away. Great for walking through the neighborhood with too many dogs not being controlled by owners.

Haven’t used yet but keep in purse or pocket when walking. I was attacked by 2 dogs that ran from across the street and jumped on me (a ridgeback and boxer). The owner tried to call them back but they didn’t listen so I carry this spray now in case this happens again. I spoke with animal control and she supported my decision to carry this.

If you want a wonderful and effective way to keep mean unleashed dogs away from you, you need to get this product! I've been carrying it around with me when we walk, which is every day, and thankfully I've only had to use it once but it worked amazingly well!! It does exactly what it says it will do - it shoots out in a stream and not a spray, so you're not affected by it - just the dog! And it stopped the dog in its tracks and it ran away from me. There's a leash law in our area, but it seems like no dog owners care about it - or their pet - so I would HIGHLY recommend this product!

After wasting a LOT of money, I asked my mailman what he used and this was it! Most of the others I have purchased you can actually accidentally spray in your face. Also if the wind is blowing you need to take that into consideration 😬. I have to walk almost a mile to a bus stop through my neighborhood that has a lot of stray dogs and owners who don't care and let their dogs run at large. This is more of an aerosol and not a pump, your finger can only fit one way, it is not as bad as capsicum, read the instructions and how it works. In my opinion this is the most humane spray I have stumbled upon. If by chance I am able to get a video I will update my review.

I bought this after another dog attacked my dog while we were on a neighborhood walk. I now bring Halt with me on every walk, but luckily, I have not had to use it. This is my second purchase, as I believe the older one has expired (the expiration date isn't on the label, but I emailed the company; the date on the bottom of the can is the manufactured date, and the spray is most effective for 3 years from that date). It's best to hold the can in your free hand so you're ready to use it if you have to. Just don't make the mistake of spraying yourself or your own pet! Just knowing I have Halt! on me when we walk gives me an added layer of protection and confidence.

Unfortunately I had to use this today. It appeared to work. However it is a bit disconcerting that the sprayed dog did not seem in much distress. Not that I want to hurt a dog. I was walking my 2 dogs and got charged by a boxer looking dog. I kicked him back and sprayed him in the face with this. The orange stream was easy to direct. Dog stopped advancing and seemed startled. Then the owner grabbed him.Here is some advice. You need to walk with this in your hand. At first I had it clipped to me. I got charged by a dog that ran out of a door when the owner opened it. It happened so fast I could not grab it in time. Now I carefully wrap my 2nd dogs leash around my hand so I can carry it ready to spray. Good luck to all you dog walkers out there!Update:Got charged by two pugs the other day and they refused to be phased by my verbal commands. When the front one got within about 6 ft I sprayed it in the face. It slowed down or stopped then started advancing slowly. I sprayed it again making sure to hit the eye and nose. It stopped and the owner came out to get his dogs. I feel like this is a deterrent and carry a stick as a back up. Read you can use a stick to perhaps pry a dogs jaws apart as well. Luckily I haven't had to try out the stick yet...Update 2:Got charged from behind by some golden doodle looking dog loose in the neighborhood. Luckily someone called out to me just in time to boot that dog away and start spraying. Dog kept trying to engage my leashed reactive dog. I booted it away and continued to paint the dog orange while yelling at it to get back. I was ready to switch to the stick when the dog gave up and retreated. Still leaving 5 stars for now. I ordered 2 cans of EPA max 1% spray. If I need to use them I will update this review with a comparison.A couple drops got on my dog and I carefully washed it off with some no water shampoo. My Wife said the dog was still a little spicy though 🙂You could possibly get several uses out of the can but I always carry a fresh one.REMEMBER THIS PRODUCT IS A DETERRENT!

Did not come in original package. don't know if it was used or returned. leary of what I received. sprays only about 6 feet. is very irritating.
