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!

It doesn’t work for my rabbit. And heck, I don’t really blame her because it’s not thaaat bad. I sprayed it on my cords to prevent her from chewing but it didn’t work. So after repairing one of my cords one day, I started snacking on grapes and noticed that something tasted bad... but I kept eating my grapes. Realized soon that it must have been the spray. Definitely bitter and unpleasant, but you when you experience it you just know you can power through it and eventually it won’t taste bad anymore. I’m guessing this is how it was for my bunny and my delicious power cords.

I got this because someone told me you can spray it on plants and it won't arm the plant but it will stop your cat from chewing on it. Thank goodness because I really like plants but don't want my cat to get sick. It works well for my cats, as well as for two of my bunnies, but my ridiculous calico bunny has decided he likes the taste. At least he can't reach all the places the cats can get to. I also sprayed it on my drywall in hope it would stop the bunnies from chewing on it, but that made my drywall gross. I ended up collapsing cardboard boxes and then just stapling the tops so they hang down and block the wall instead. I like the nozzle. It sprays better than most pump spray bottles.

My bunny still chews anyway. It works for dogs licking their paws.

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 !
