- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2025Size: 16 Oz 2 packVerified PurchaseBitter Apples works great for my dogs. I've used it in the past and deters chewing on your stuff. Right now I am using it to keep the puppy from grabbing my other dogs harness when taking them for a walk. It is alcohol based and will evaporate soon. I have never had it stain, but a test area should be done before spraying on furniture. You can also spray around hot spots. I used to put it on my hand and then wipe around the hot spot area so it would not burn my dog. Great training tool.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2025Size: 16 Oz 2 packVerified PurchaseGREAT deterrent for puppies, or dogs who chew...Must apply periodically. Good for your hands when puppy's in chew mode. However wash your hands before eating anything..
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024Size: 16 Oz 2 packVerified Purchase1, buyer beware, this contains isopropanol which is TOXIC for dogs. I would steer clear; even if it is a small amount, always better safe than sorry.
2, Make sure to spray it onto a surface!! If sprayed into air, it will get in your nose (mouth too depending on situation), and it IS bitter.
On the plus side, it works. Our puppy won't bite things anymore, however, she'll get angry and try to bite the bottle. She's bitten the bottle-wielder too. Probably just an our-dog thing, but something to keep in mind.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2025Size: 16 Ounces (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseLove love love. This spray has stopped my dog from biting my coffee table, the walls, the couch -- literally anything that I spray it onto. I might have to reapply it to an area after a month, but that's no problem for me. I also recommended this to a friend and she loved it too!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024Size: 8 Ounces (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseIt simply smells like rubbing alcohol.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2025Size: 16 Ounces (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseDoes not work, even after fresh spray - soaked leash and my shoes and still bites like no taste. As others have said it dries up fast and no smell or taste later.... very poor quality. Save your money and buy something else .... always find reviews off of amazon - learning not to trust reviews on here ... always too positive on bad products I end up getting and having to return. I like amazon, but lately many of their products are very suspicious quality levels and if genuine. I've started to shop Walmart online more because of this.... Amazon got greedy, now will sell anything of any quality in my opinion (and others). Spend less times sending GF into space and more time returning Amazon to quality products. MAGA - Make Amazon Great Again LOL
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2025Size: 8 Ounces (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseThis product is great for spraying coffee table edges, furniture legs, unsafe sticks that your puppy might want to chew! Make sure it doesn’t harm the finish before spraying, by testing a small obscure area first.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2025Size: 8 Ounces (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseIf you dog is biting everything, put some on your hand, let dog smell the product from hand, then put directly on their tongue. Spray it on furniture, shoes, boxes, anything you want to protect. The dog will remember smell and taste to protect your items.
