sure. Probably overkill though. Dogs, like bears, have many more times the receptors in their nasal cavities that a human has. Makes them much more sensitive to things like pepper spray, iirc. So regular pepper spray should be more than adequate. Cheaper too.

The one advantage to bear spray, and you kind of touched on it, is the fact that the canister is much larger than normal, so if you are attacked by multiple dogs, you have more ammo, as it were.
