I just tried to use POM spray in a dog attack (I was walking my dogs). It was the larger MK3 bottle with 18-20' range. I had the bottle ready to go when this German shepherd was more than 100' away and charging - should have been plenty of time.
I activated when the dog was about 12 feet away, still charging at me. The spray was a thin, solid line and only went about 3 feet at first, and then was basically just falling out of the bottle. There was no spray effect.
This was a brand new bottle so I'm wondering what went wrong here. Did it have a slow leak? Settled/coagulated contents? Please help.
That's obviously a bad unit, Mike. Contact POM and they will replace it. Always test your unit safely outdoors downwind with a brief spray to make sure it is functional when you get it.
Thanks John. I already reached out to them, waiting for their reply.
I tested my next unit that's now in rotation and it worked fine. Unfortunately I was upwind and my nose and lips are a little tingly. Can't imagine how uncomfortable a full dose of this would be.
