## Description

Product Description Licking at a wound or sore can lead to nasty infections, especially if your dog is out and about. Carefully applying the Bitter Apple Spray to a wound dressing will put a stop to this: the sour taste will put your pet off fussing over their cut. You can also use the Bitter Apple Spray to discourage your pet from chewing the furniture. Simply spray onto soft furnishings or wherever your dog likes to nibble, and they'll soon learn to stop gnawing at things they shouldn't. Ingredients Water, Isopropanol 20%, Bitter Principles and Extractives. Safety Warning Keep out of reach of children. May stain surfaces. Box Contains 1 x Bitter Apple Spray 8oz

Review: I only wish I'd discovered it sooner... - With two puppies racing around, you can imagine I've got my hands full! Whether your pooch is still a pup or an adult with a few behavioural issues, this spray could be a life-saver for you! Dogs explore the world using their mouths and while it is a natural behaviour, when they are 'exploring' your sofa, or rug, this can be a real problem. My Grandad suggested this bitter apple spray and I have to say it has definitely helped the situation! One of my dogs ceased chewing wherever this was sprayed immediately; some dogs will not go near this stuff at all but you will always find that one tough little cookie who just can't help but have a nibble regardless! If this is your dog, please let me advise you to persevere! The fact that this worked so well on one of my dogs and not the other made me convinced it was worth continuing. I believe that this is more of a deterrent to some more than others based on their personalities as opposed to any issue with the efficacy of the spray. Alongside clear commands and positive reinforcement/reward based training, this will be an invaluable tool in your arsenal. Obviously, a bottle of Bitter Apple Spray will never replace effective dog training and therefore this is designed to be used in conjunction and as a helpful deterrent. I love the fact that Grannick's is all natural, meaning that you're not exposing your dogs to any nasty chemicals. My only real criticism is that you seem to need to keep this 'topped up'. It seems a natural deterrent but it does seem as though it becomes less effective in the hours after use. Usually, by this point, the urge to chew has passed but if there are a few stubborn spots your dog just won't leave alone, be sure to reapply this every 4 hours or so while persevering with your positive reinforcement based training. Despite needing to reapply regularly, a bottle should last you absolutely ages. I thought this would be something I'd need to buy regularly but it seems to be the bottle that just keeps on giving. With a few quick spritzes to the area more than enough, I don't anticipate needing to buy another bottle for a long time. I've found that as the days and weeks pass, I need to use this less and less as your dog begins to associate the chewing behaviour with the bitter taste of this spray, removing all those positive associations. I particularly appreciated the fact that there seemed to be no fragrance; while this makes areas unattractive to your dog, it doesn't leave them smelling in any way I could notice. Other sprays I've used which are similar seem to leave an odour hanging around that I'm not personally very keen on. Overall 5 stars from me and a product I am more than happy to recommend to other pet owners. I only have dogs but do have friends who have reported success when using this with cats also.

Review: Seems to have been effective - I have a border collie, and after mistakenly leaving crumbs on the kitchen worktop he developed a habit of jumping up and licking the worktop through the night which I only discovered as a result of a "dog cam" in the kitchen. My first effort was simply to make sure I cleaned the worktops properly, to remove any crumbs of food, or even flavours from anything that might have been chopped and left no visible residue. This didn't seem to work, as the potential for something being there alone was enough of a drive for him to go and lick the surfaces to check. This was happening through the night, so I was unable to "catch him in the act" so I did a little research for deterrents and found this product. I managed to pick it up on desertcart for marginally cheaper than I would have done in the well known pet store which I usually visit, which I was happy about. I went about spraying the chopping boards and work surfaces I had seen him investigating each night before I went to bed, so the spray was fresh and as strong tasting as possible. It did take some time to condition him into realising that not only is there no food on the worktops, but there is also a bad taste up there, but with persistence, this was achieved and I no longer have an issue. The important thing then is to make sure you wash it off all your surfaces, so that you're not the one tasting the spray when you next prepare food I also had a puppy who at the time was too small to reach the worktop, but luckily I managed to stop this behaviour before it was learnt by the puppy which is also a real benefit to me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this deter our pup from mains cables & unavoidable extension leads?**
A: This deters my puppy from everything, he hates it. I would recommend trying it.

**Q: Is this safe for puppies as it contains 20% Isopropanol?**
A: I used it with my puppy and it works a treat. They onviously don't like the taste and only lick it and never go back to it. Wall paper, skirting boards, kitchen cupboards and rattan furniture have all been saved!

**Q: Our new pup just wants to chew all our toddler's toys - is it safe to use on toddler toys?**
A: I think it would probably be safe, however, toddlers might object to their favourite toys smelling unpleasant! The bottle says to keep out of the reach of children but probably because larger quantities could prove harmful. I'm afraid I cannot be more certain than this, but I hope it is of some help. David Noakes, Diamond Edge Ltd.

**Q: Does this stop cats from scratching furniture?**
A: It is originally intended to prevent dogs chewing themselves and getting sore, but we have heard that it is often used for cats too. Whether the smell is a sufficient deterrent depends on the cat as it is intended that the taste is the unpleasant ingredient. I would also check before spraying onto furniture that it will not stain or mark it. David Noakes, Diamond Edge Ltd.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Might be a godsend
*by M***G on 9 July 2024*

It's only day one but this has given me my first peaceful-as-you-get-with-a-puppy afternoon with my 9.5 week old boy since I got him. He isn't much of a chewer yet, but was constantly nipping for attention or when frustrated. He was biting my legs so hard I was really struggling to bond with him, and it felt impossible to follow the standard advice of ignoring him as it was just too painful. I'd taken to standing on chairs or on the kitchen table to ignore him so he couldn't bite me until he started drawing blood or making me cry. Sadly, he'd then start ripping up the rug or the sofa in protest as he knew it would elicit me to try and redirect him to a toy or a treat. Then he'd have his favourite target, my poor battered shins, back within biting reach. Today I sprayed this all over the blanket on the sofa, on the corners of the rug, and all over the bottom half of my trousers. I sprayed a couple of necessary electrical wires with it too for good measure. He hasn't sunk his teeth into any of them – or anything else within the house that he shouldn't – since. He just goes back to his toys instead. I know I'll probably have to keep topping it up a couple of times a day until he's learned to leave those things alone, but I'm praying he doesn't get used to it or grow to like it as some people's puppies have, because when it works this stuff is peace in a bottle.
