Grannick's Bitter Apple Original Taste Deterrent Dog Spray

We have a young puppy that chews everything! She started chewing on the edges of our couch and area rugs and I wanted to get something to deter her before she destroyed them. I had read the reviews of several different sprays and even though none of them were solid 5 stars, I thought we’d at least give this one a try. I’m so glad we did, because it works for her! I sprayed it on all the edges of our area rug and she immediately went up and licked it. I initially for a second thought it wasn’t going to work, but then she didn’t go back to chew. It really does work! I reapply the spray maybe once a week on a certain edge of the rug that she’s drawn to. I would’ve given it 5 stars, but the spray We have a young puppy that chews everything!

I have a 9 month old golden who likes to chew some furniture in the house. I bought this hoping it would keep him away from the furniture. It smells awful and I’m sure it doesn’t smell good to my dog either but it doesn’t prevent him from chewing anything. I’ll spray this a few times and he’ll wait a few minutes and go right back to chewing. The spray also does not last long. This would need to be spray constantly which isn’t something I want to do. The only smell i found so far that my dog hates is nail polish.

My dog is constantly licking and chewing on her paws. This stuff absolutely works. I don't spray it directly on her paws since it's an aerosol. I spray it on my hands, then rub it on her paws. She hates the smell and stops chewing her paws immediately. The only bad thing about this is the smell doesn't last long enough. It starts to fade within an hour or so and she's back to chewing her paws. I'm hoping that by rubbing this on her paws enough times, she will get out of the habit of chewing her paws.

So I was a bad mom and let my puppy chew on our couch pillows because they were already old and I didn’t care for them anyways... and it was kinda cute how his nose would push up like miss piggy. So when it came time to get new couch pillows, I knew I was going to have to deter him. I used this spray and he doesn’t like the noise of it spraying so that could be it, or the smell, I don’t know. But he has only gone for them a couple of times and stops almost immediately after tasting them. The best part is, there is NO ODOR after about 30 seconds to a minute. The smell before hand is a very strong alcohol. Now I can stop him from chewing on anything he shouldn’t. Oh, and the bottle is HUGE!

My dachshund is 9yo and always licks the dishes in the dishwasher while I am loading it, and has always done this. I have been giving the “away” command, accompanied by a hand motion, for years. She will put her head down and walk away, but I am tired of having to do this every time I load the dishwasher. A relatative visiting this past Christmas told me about bitter apple, and it works. I spray the dishes and she gives it one try, and walks away. Wish I knew to use this many years ago.

Love this stuff! It has changed our life when training our goldendoodle. The only thing I’ve noticed with the large bottle is it likes to sweat a lot in the cap which causes leaking down the bottle (something I didn’t notice with the small bottle). Other then that it works just the same and we love it!!!!

When used in conjunction with Benadryl, my intensely separation-anxiety ridden dog FINALLY does not chew her crate apart!! She has chewed through 2 plastic crates and 2 wire ones, and after having her chew through the plywood on top of the metal one, we tried this spray in combo with Benadryl. Works like a charm!! When the Benadryl wears off, Grannick's is there to save the day!! She HATES the taste!! Instead of coming home to splinters of plywood everywhere, we come home to a more chill dog.

It works with repetitive uses. Keep spraying as needed. One spray may not do it. There's a stop cat one that's a little better deterrent that works for dogs also. But with that you should use again. I would still recommend the one from Chewy.com also. They have great stuff and you get your purchases fast.

Just purchased 2 bottles of this and have sprayed it liberally all over my puppy's leash....she took to chewing on the leash right after I sprayed it. I used it properly-gave both sides of this short leash a good dousing. This is not working for me. Will be asking for a refund. This product has been around for years. But for me, it's not an effective product.

THIS! This product. I finally feel as peace. My American Bulldog would not stop licking, didn’t matter what it was, dog bed, couch, carpet, himself. Sprayed his dog bed, he took maybe a lick, was disgusted and hasn’t done it since. Listen, it’s been three days after spraying and has resulted in minimal licking (can’t spray all the carpet - he’s strange (I know)) and I feel as if I have my sanity back. Anyone with an avid licker understands. 15/10 would recommend even for the couple of quiet days I’ve had!
