Grannick'sCare Dogs Bitter Apple No Chew Spray 8oz

My family adopted a puppy who — at the time I find myself needing this product is about 9 months old — and she has never chewed on anything but her toys, and sticks in the yard...*Until*, that is, she had to be left home alone (except for another, older, dog) for approximately an hour and a half one day. We have a multiperson home so she has very seldom been alone, but she had tolerated it well previously. This time she decided to absolutely shred the crown molding around the picture windows in our living room, to the tune of roughly four feet of wood chewed off of the wall and turned into jelly bean sized pieces.Unfortunately, the thing that necessitated us leaving the house all at once will not resolved for the foreseeable future, and her action was definitely acting out from anxiety, so there's no point in trying to catch her doing it while home to modify her behavior. I remembered roughly twenty years ago when 1) my sister had a pet rabbit that chewed through electric cords, and 2) we rescued a dog who wanted to chew through chair legs, and my parents' solution then (along with training).The original and best sour apple spray! I ordered a bottle and thoroughly coated what remained of the moulding around the window, as well as a few other things like chair legs and table edges that I was concerned she might turn to. Despite us leaving the period for the same length every day for a month — as well as a few days where we were gone more than 6 hours due to events beyond our control — there has been no more indoor wood chewing.Now if only I had thought to spray the pillowcase od the body pillow she eviscerated and whose filling she spread across the house like a layer of snow, yesterday. :PThe product worked great to stop chewing immediately, and literally cannot complain about anything, not even the awful taste *I* couldn't get out of my mouth for a good hour when I accidentally aspirated some of the spray during my frenzy to coat all the puppy-unsafe wood as soon as the bottle arrived.5 stars absolutely well earned, I recommend this to anyone with an animal that chews, and will not hesitate to buy it again myself.

For years, Appa the sky Bison lived in harmony with our family. But everything changed when Appa fell, and the dogs attacked. Only an anti-chew spray, master of repelling dogs who liked to chew, could stop them. And when I needed it most, Amazon was there. A few days passed as I waited for the spray’s arrival and I discovered a box containing the spray on my front porch. Its chew-repellent skills were great, and it was ready to save Appa. I believe this spray can save the plushies of this world.I’m sure this spray won’t work for every dog, but it seems to work for mine. My poor Appa plushy was mistaken for a chew toy. Thankfully, I got to him before much damage could be done. But I knew I had to protect him from another brutal attack! So I ordered this anti-chew spray and sprayed it all over Appa. I offered Appa to the dogs as if he were a chew toy. One of my dogs tried to bite him, but as soon as she did, she immediately let go with a disgusted look on her face and walked away. My other dog sniffed Appa for a moment and then lost interest. Now Appa can live harmoniously with us again.

Works well as a puppy training method. Does not have a strong smell. It does not last a long time on surface so you will tend to need to respray areas if your puppy likes a particular item. I have not noticed it leaving a residue or discoloring any items. It does not seem to have a negative effect on my dogs health.

Works great my dog stopped biting my walls the first time I sprayed the wall

It works, but loses its effectiveness after a couple of days.Very strong alcohol smell, which disipates after a few minutes just like with rubbing alcohol.The spray bottle was not easy to use without it leaking with every spray. Maybe I received a defective sprayer bottle? For this reason I recommend wearing gloves!The first time I used Grannick's Bitter Apple was over 20 yrs ago and it worked like a charm - just sprayed everything once and done. For that reason, it would have received 5 stars, but unfortunately I can't give it a true 5 stars today.Although it worked and my puppy didn't like the taste of it, after just a couple of days, I found myself having to respray everything again. Not sure why it's losing it's effectiveness so quickly. But I did notice today's product has a very strong alcohol smell, whereas the older product only had a faint apple smell.I hope the manufacturer, or whomever, hasn't cut all the bittering ingredients and factors that once made this product very effective and would last, just to add or substitute it with more alcohol (hence the strong alcohol smell). I may try to purchase this elsewhere to see if there's a difference and will update. Because at this rate and less quality, this product is going to cost me more than the items I'm trying to protect!I would also like to add that my puppy 20+ years ago was a Cocker Spaniel. My new puppy is a German Shepherd/Husky mix whom I recently discovered likes the taste of sour stuff, hence why a similar "super sour" product didn't work. Maybe different breeds have different tastes buds? Idk, but thought maybe this background info may be of some help to others.

Outstanding product and keeps our puppy off things they are to chew

Works well! I needed it for my ferret to stop chewing hammock straps in their cage. My new rescue always went crazy for anything attached to the top of the cage. Soaked some of this into the straps when I added the new hammock and she hasn't attempted to chew them since. I would be mindful when spraying as it can get around the surface you are attempting. It also has an alcohol smell to it which I'm sure aids in having the pets avoid the given area. CONSULT A VETERINARIAN BEFORE SPRAYING DIRECTLY ON YOUR PETS! Also check the material and ingredients of this product before spraying on furniture etc before it gets ruined.
