Will hairspray directly into an attacking dogs eyes really stop them without causing permanent damag2007-11-25 2:56:34Answers:

Hairspray is a poor choice for stopping a dog attack. At best the smell might gag him. Some of the chemicals in the spray can certainly harm the eyes (says so right on the can).

Pepper spray is the best choice. It will stop the dog and water (or tears) will clean out the spray.

I can honestly say I have never heard of this. I can also say, I have gotten hairspray in my eyes and it wasn't so bad that if I were in a rage, I'd stop.

An attacking dog can go on more than its eyes. It has made its target, can smell it, and is in motion with ferocity. I would doubt that you could stop it with hairspray.

Cheers!

Hairspray contains hydrocarbons in it that can melt into the cornea when it hits the eyes. This can burn the eye and can result in infection.

If your really need something buy "Direct Stop".

Hairspray directly into a dog's eyes may cause permanent damage. Also it is clearly cruel towards the animal. And if you get caught in the country where I live, you would definitely have to explain to the police why you were carrying hairspray on you in the first place.

Apart from that, it would be a lot more useful to prevent an impending attack before it happens. If you know of an aggressive dog, report him to the authorities.

Also you might find that the pain in the eyes might make the dog more aggressive.
