Any recomendations for pepper spray to be used on aggressive dogs?
Halt seems to be most useful as a chili soup flavoring. However, it's readily available at the local bike shop. Anything stronger is a bit more challenging to find around here.
Are there any real differences between the brands? A 2oz can of Halt is about $6. Similar sized cans of MaceBrand Muzzle and Guard Alaska's Night shift run about $15-16.
The MaceBrand company has one they sell for dog use. The Guard Alaska company sells bear sprays and other pepper sprays they claim meet the EPA Repellant standards of at least 1.0% capsacin.

10% Bearguard is the ticket if it's legal in your state.
Of course a .45 ACP Colt 1911 series works better if you're seeking a more permanent solution....
4-1 in favor of 1911's (and their variants) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I love the HK USPs, but the ParaOrd P13 Alloy (1911 Combat Commander variant) is a much better carry gun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

5.5% OC is the most effective. Anything more you are not going to see a difference. It's a selling gimic. Also go with "cone shaped mist".
Of course like everyone else said....a .45 does the job nicely....Glock that is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Being realistic, a handgun isn't much use to most of us. Without good and regular training, it's hard to hit a target on a regular basis -- let alone when you are under stress. Under the excitement of a dog attack, it's not likely you will be real cognizant of the backstop for the missed round. Not a good thing. The second shots with the bigger calibers tend to be more dangerous to nearby birds. Finally, packing a side-arm tends to draw undue and unappreciated attention.
However, if I'm to pick some side-artillery, I'll stay with the Remington XP-100 bolt-action pistol. It's commonly chambered for a .223 rifle round. The Savage Arms version can be chambered up to a .380 round. The muzzle blast will incinerate anything out to about 10'. When you are done with your one shot, the gun is big enough to use as a fairly decent club.

Also, they make a pepper foam now that rocks! It sticks to the assailant/prey and even has a UV dye in it to help with IDing the perp later. It's also less likely to whiff back at you if you spray *into* the wind ( try to avoid that )
And here in the great state of Georgia, *everybody carries - a CCW is a "shall issue" and packing draws no attention <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
