Fooey! 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 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 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.

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 !
