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…

Not effective for my rabbit at all. She’s been chewing up the floorboards and I sprayed this everywhere and saturated the baseboards. A few minutes later, she runs up, licks the spray, and continues to chew the boards. Does not work

Not sure how to rate this product, as far as being bitter.. yeah it’s very bitter. Do NOT touch anything that you have sprayed because it will be on your hands for a long time. As for my dogs though, they like it. Or pup that started this devious project of hers, now is full on trying to sneak attack around us to get more of this now tasty corner bit.. almost like we added a little razzle dazzle for her. And now our other dogs that were NOT licking or biting, are now licking and biting the areas we sprayed.. not sure how but this product actually did the opposite of what we hoped it would do.Anyway, I’m sure the product probably works for other dogs. Not for ours though. In case anyone is wondering for the type of dogs we have that it didn’t work on; mini schnauzer, lab, German shepherd and chihuahua.

I bought this because a friend recommended me this and she said that it worked on her pet so I thought I’d give it a try. Well it came in the mail today and when I’m out for lunch and I rush home thinking ‘yes finally I can stop my dog chewing on herself (cause it’s safe on fur) stop my bunny from chewing on my shoes and my cat from eating plastic.’ When I finally come home the first thing I did was open it, excited to finally win the constant chewing battles! And it works!!! This 16 oz of bitter grapefruit skin extract works. I sprayed on my shoes, my dogs bandages, chair legs, almost everywhere! Feeling of winning was great. After spraying this bitter spray almost everywhere in the living room I went to go eat, after I was my hands of course because I did notice a small droplets on my hands (little did I know that should have been a warning to me) after eating I went to lick my fingers.......... bitter is not how I would put it. It felt like my tongue was trying to reject my body. The taste was god awful, not only was the taste awful my tongue went numb, it went to the back of my throat and stayed like that for 20+ minutes. It wouldn’t have been that long if I didn’t do the dumbest thing and try to rinse my mouth out with water...... now the pungent flavor that was just at the tip of my tongue has now spread all inside of my mouth. I ate something out of desperation to get another flavor out of my mouth.... helped slightly. I went back to work to finish the rest of my shift, and washed my hands there (much more longer cause of what happened last time.) I am someone who usually has some candy in her bag for extra energy (I’m a preschool teacher). I’m starting to feel tired and pop some m&ms in my mouth........when my tongue even went near my lips the taste came back..... now with a hint of chocolate..... knowing nothing can really help this I just tried my best to keep a poker face so my coworker wouldn’t know what was wrong with me. Needless to say 10/10 stops pets from unwanted chewing...... and would recommend this product if you wanted to stop thumb sucking or nail biting. (J/K)

I was spraying this heavily on my computer cords and laptop corners as that is where the cats keep chewing. I had my mouth closed but inhaling it you tasted it and I did not inhale on purpose.I cannot imagine an animal (my cats, several) wanting to taste this more than a second.I do not know for certain how it works yet but would think it should work quite well. You might want to put a cloth or mask (since we all have them now) over your mouth before you start spraying it.Fingers crossed it tastes as bad for my cats as it is for me.Using some strawberry tequila shooters to get the taste out of my mouth. LOLI have a feeling this is going to work great.
