My daughter and her husband and two small children just moved out to Seattle. They like to take hikes in the woods with the boys, ages 20 months and three years old. I'm concerned about Cougar as there have been a number of attacks in the Northwestern part of U.S. I realize that Cougar are not like bear when they attach and most of the time the first inkling that there is a cougar interested in you is when you feel him/her on your back. That being said, I'd like to get her some bear spray or other repellent that may be effective in convincing both Cougar and bear that it's not worth the effort. Can anyone recommend a pepper spray or other repellent that would fit this bill?

Thanks

A worried grandpa.
