Yes, pepper spray is designed for portability and safety. It comes with a secure cap or safety mechanism to prevent accidental discharge and fits easily into handbags, pockets, or attaches to a belt clip.

7. Can it be used indoors?

Pepper spray can be used indoors in emergency situations, but due to its strong irritant properties, it is best used in open or well-ventilated spaces to avoid affecting yourself or others nearby.

8. Does pepper spray expire?

9. Can I use it on animals (e.g., stray dogs)?

While pepper spray may deter aggressive animals, it should be used on them only as a last resort. The spray can cause significant distress, and unnecessary use on animals is discouraged.

10. How do I use pepper spray correctly?

Hold the can upright and aim for the attacker’s face, especially the eyes and nose. Use short bursts rather than a continuous spray. After spraying, move away quickly and seek safety or assistance.
