We have a large terrier who is great with cats, except that she plays too roughly with our youngest cat. This cat engages in rough play with the dog and encourages her to romp and wrestle. It is a playful exchange, but when the dog began putting her mouth all over the cat and even picking him up and pulling him along the floor in her mouth, we began to worry that he could get hurt. She has that terrier tendency to shake her toys violently, and doing this even once with the cat could break his neck.
We had this anti-chew spray on hand and decided to give it a try for this non-typical purpose. I pumped a bit in my hand and rubbed it down the cat's head and back. Surprisingly, the cat didn't seem to mind! Better yet, the dog put her mouth on the cat just once after that first application, and hasn't done it again since. Now, she'll nudge the cat with her nose, but not put her mouth on her. Even when the cat isn't wearing his "dog repellant", the dog seems to have learned that the cat tastes bad and avoids contact.
It has quite literally been a lifesaver at our house. Cat and dog can be together when we aren't right there to provide direct supervision. As a word of caution, this product does contain tea tree oil, which is toxic to cats when concentrated. We used it with reservation, but because our cat doesn't lick it, the benefit seems to outweigh the risk - especially if we can recondition the dog in a short period of time. It wouldn't fix a dog that is truly aggressive toward cats, but has worked wonders for our mouthy, playful pup. Here's hoping our fluke experience might help others!

THIS PRODUCT STOPS CHEWING PROBLEMS IN ITS TRACKS
We just got a puppy and we all know that puppies love to chew and she tried and I purchased other products to deter her from chewing without any success, then I found this product and it really works, she does not chew on anything now and this is the first day of use so I know with continued use chewing will not be a problem, she did not like the taste one bit and you can tell she is thinking twice before doing it again, this product is awesome. If you have a puppy or dog with a chewing problem this is a very effective product I highly recommend it.
