Abstract: The walking aid with deterrent spray is constructed of a walking cane that includes a deterrent spray member integrated onto a distal end. The deterrent spray member includes a shield that opens to prevent a deterrent spray from reaching an end user. The shield is collapsible when not in use. The walking cane includes a spray nozzle on a distal end, which disperses the deterrent spray in order to temporarily incapacitate a feral animal. The spray nozzle is connected to a replaceable canister that is positioned within the walking cane. A trigger is provided on a handle portion of the walking cane. The trigger is in mechanical connection with the replaceable canister in order to dispense the deterrent spray via the spray nozzle. The shield is actuated via a plurality of extension rods that translate and pivot via a locking collar.
