Ultra Bitter No Chew Spray for Dogs, Cats, Horses, Rabbits, Ferrets, Birds - Anti-Chew Bitter Spray for Dogs Stop Chewing Furniture - Dog Deterrent Spray Training Aid Safe for Pets - 8 fl oz

My English Bulldog is a compulsive licker. It’s his go to soothing action for his anxiety, and if there’s no intervention, he will leave puddles of drool. Given that his paws are always within reach, we battle yeast infections from the excessive licking between his toes. Anti bacterial and anti fungal wipes can only do so much keeping these infections at bay. So I thought I’d try a bitter apple spray like a vet long ago suggested for my first bulldog with a similar issue. Order placed let’s see if it works. Bottle arrived inside a plastic bag / taped shut like Amazon does to prevent leaking, slight packing, inside a standard Amazon box. There was the tiniest bit of humidity inside the bag when I opened it, like temperature condensation - THAT IS ALL. Not even thinking about it, I pulled out the bottle, put it away, and threw out the packaging before going on with the rest of my to do list. Twenty minutes later, I sit down on the couch, open my book, read to the end of the page I was on, and that’s when it happened. I made the AWFUL mistake of licking my finger to turn the page… I pity AND commend whoever at Fooey works in R&D. No amount of spitting, wiping off my tongue or scraping it with my teeth, rinsing my mouth with water dulled the power of how awful this stuff tastes. I got it to LESSEN with Listerine, but I don’t know if that’s because it was a little more diluted or because Listerine is just as potent. All just from letting the moisture on the out side of the bottle dry on my fingers. This stuff is like the tear gas of licking deterrents - if this stuff doesn’t work and keep him from licking his paws, I wouldn’t even consider sending it back because those people at Fooey have redefined Due Diligence and deserve every penny I paid for it. I would NEVER use this stuff without gloves because I don’t ever want to experience that again. Hopefully your pets will feel the same way. And apparently I didn’t wash my hands well enough because I just got another zap… I wonder if Tecnu soap will wash it off. Yes, skunks and poison ivy would be comparable to the grossness of this stuff…

So my dog was excessively licking his paws and causing small sores. After I got him healed up, I purchased this, hoping that it would stop him. He still licked his paws, but not as much. I allow him on my bed. I have an area at the foot of the bed that has his own blankets and that's his area. He is also free to walk around my bed. Sometimes I'll call him up closer to me to cuddle. I woke up after the first night with rash on a lot of my body, especially my hands. Having the rash on my hands really confused me because I used gloves to apply it. I did not want it to get on me. Just from the amount of time that he walked around my bed that night before going to sleep, it was enough to spread the spray ALL OVER anything he touched. I did not use an excessive amount if anything I used maybe less than needed to stop the licking completely. It is a terrible taste. I accidentally got a little bit in my mouth from touching the bed, and then later licked my finger to turn the page of a book. I brushed my teeth, I gargled with water. I tried drinking several different things. I could not get the taste out of my mouth for hours. So depending on how stubborn your dog is, it may work. If you do purchase this product, you will definitely want to keep your dog sequestered in one specific area. I used it on his paws, but even if you put it on the upper leg or a different part of their body, if they rub against something or YOU, it's going to be all over you and everything your pet touches with their body at all, EVERYWHERE! The bottle is large, it would definitely last a while. It is VERY HARD to completely wash off!!! I had a lot of trouble getting it off my hands. I washed them several times, with several different soaps. I even tried using some rubbing alcohol. It also took a few days until it was finally off his paws. Apparently, you just have to give it time. As far as how well it works on your pet, Im not sure. My little guy still licked his paws. I also want to add that my dog has short fur, so it's not like he's very furry, and it was all over his fur and that's why it got everywhere. It might be effective for other pets. Unfortunately, it did not stop him from licking. I ended up with a terrible, painful rash that lasted days! I don't have sensitive skin normally. So it makes me wonder how strong this really is? Maybe it's just too strong!!! It was a terrible experience!

I know the stuff taste, nasty as crap because if you use it expect that at some point it will end up in your mouth. It does not wash off your hands easy and unless you use a glove when spraying it it’s going to get on your hands and once it’s on your hands or finger foods are off-limits and be careful how you hold your drink because you will taste that and it will not go away. It’s like licking a switch game. But it doesn’t stop my dog from licking the back of the couch. It does stop my cats from eating my plants. I did a couple test leaves on quite a few of my plants. No effect on any.

We bought this because are little brats cats keep chewing on everything! Our kittens are about 9 months old and still in a chewing phase even though they have so many toys including chew toys. Instead they have destroyed 4 of our camera cords to the cameras we have throughout our house, uncountable iPhone chargers and shoe strings, my Apple Watch charger, a lamp cord, and a bunch of other random cords including our adjustable bed! Fortunately that one is much thicker and harder to chew in had unlike everything else. Anyway, I wish I bought this stuff much sooner so we didn’t have to replace so many things. Clearly they’re not cheap. Luckily I was able to find replacement cords for the cameras but I haven’t hooked them up yet. This spay is definitely bitter and it works for now. Almost everything that was replaced was sprayed with this stuff and so far our little devils haven’t gone back to chew them up again. They don’t actually eat the cords or wires, they just chew them in halves or multiple pieces. They must like the taste of the plastic or wires. Especially the ones that are white…. I HIGHLY SUGGEST when you use this stuff, wear plastic or rubber gloves because it will stay in your finger and hands for a long time. Doesn’t matter if you shower, or wash your hands 10 times! It stays on for a while!! I even used that orange scrub for mechanics to remove grease, plus dawn soap, lemon juice before the orange scrub and it still wouldn’t come off for awhile day or 2! Using an oil or thick lotion to coat your skin before hand helps a little bit but gloves would be much better to avoid this issue all together. If you smoke a cigarette, eat or touch your lips in any way, it will get on them!!! Again this stuff taste nasty, hence the reason it keeps animals from chewing things so it does its job! I all recommend wearing a covid mask for anything to cover your nose and mouth as it goes through the air. Use it in a well ventilated area if possible. It’ll get in your nose and on everything else too. Even if you spray it on a paper towel first, then rub it on an item. I have only used this stuff once or twice on each item. I’m not sure how long it last but I plan on using it every few weeks just to keep things protected. I haven’t tried it on furniture yet but I might this weekend after doing a patch test to make sure it won’t ruin the material ( leather and suede) There are a few corners of the recliner they scratch time to time, and under our adjustable bed they go nuts scratching it! But I feel like this could help because the double sided scratch tape I put on the bed, unfortunately doesn’t work since they’re still scratching. And they’ll try to eat it as well so it’s useless.

I have a young yearling dog. She chews EVERYTHING! This was SUGGESTED to me in a “specific breed” community page, as well as create train. I sprayed it on the wood furniture she frequents. The residue was on my hand, so I licked a tiny bit on my hand. IT WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE! NOTHING got rid of the taste. Vapor must have settled on my face because I tasted it when I licked my lips. Not until I scrubbed my face clean was it gone. This is perfect for My pup who would lick vinegar off when we used that. And since Fooey! doesn’t hurt me, it’s not abuse, but training. And after reading the reviews, I see I can put it on my plants to keep the cats off. I can have my plants back in my house again. That’s wonderful. I highly recommend this as long as you wash your hands and face after applying it To your furniture. Also- don’t lick the furniture you put it on. Lol. And don’t spray around they’re eating bowels or area.

I am a long-time dog trainer & tried this product when it 1st came out years ago. It was completely ineffective back then, but I was raising a working-line Malinois puppy at the time, so I didn't blame the product! This time however I tried it again on a sweet, sensitive Borzoi (sighthound) puppy - not known for the same toughness seen in a Malinois, so I hoped it would work. Sadly, it did just the opposite - it was like a spray some irresistable sauce! He loved the taste, actively searched for other places I sprayed it & would steal/parade around with the bottle every time he got the the chance! If I had not gotten the bottle away from him, it would have ended up as a very messy stinky chew toy. My housemate (human) is not a fan of the scent (I have Anosmia, so I have no idea what ANYTHING smells like) & suggested maybe maxing out the recipe with capsicum (what makes peppers hot) would help, but as of now, nothing I've tried commercially has worked. I gave it 2 ☆s as their refund policy is excellent, so I find them excellent at customer relations & will still recommend them to puppy/aggressive chewer owner students as an option even tho it didn't work with my dog.

The stuff works fantastic for puppies who are trying to do or mouth everything. The only problem is, make sure that you don't get any of it on your own hands. My husband forbade me from using it on any more items, because when you make contact with surfaces it transfers to your hands even after it's dried. He would wash his hands and then touch the surface of the couch that I sprayed and then go to eat his food it tasted very bitter. There was no scent, it's safe for dogs, it's a great training tool, just remember to not touch any of the surfaces that you've sprayed if you want to enjoy your meal.

This does not work for rabbits at all. I got it to try to stop mine from chewing up her hutch. I think it’s just made it more tasty for her. Not worth the money for rabbits and it smells horrible.

Easy to use and was pretty effective, pretty safe to use as I have a rabbit so found it ideal.

Aminoró mucho la destruccion que causaba mi perro al morder los muebles , solo hay que usar guantes para ponerlo ya que el sabor se impregna muiy facilmente .

This is the third time I have ordered. Very disappointed this time, the package leaked! I will bot be able to use it at all… Spilled all over the plastic package! However, the overall product is great! Just needs improvement on how the product delivery was handled!

I have four cats and honestly, they’re lil criminals. I was hoping this would keep them away from my plants but sadly, the only thing it does is scare them when they see me spray on the plants. But they’re not bothered one bit by it

Totalement inefficace...me chiens lèchent le produit !
