Bitter Apple Spray

Prevent fur chewing and wound licking by applying Bitter Apple Spray to your pet's coat. You can use it around the house to stop young animals from nibbling your belongings too.

How it works

The bitter taste of this apple spray is non-toxic and safe to use on furniture, fabric and even your pet's fur to discourage chewing. Simply use the spray bottle to apply the formula to the surface and the next time they try to nibble that area, they'll taste an unpleasant flavour that will encourage them to stop. It was designed to stop dogs from biting their fur when they become stressed, so it can help to keep their coat in great condition if they're prone to licking patches bare when they're worried.

Speak to your vet for advice if you're concerned about your pet over-grooming or displaying nervous behaviour.

When to use it

Young pets, such as puppies and kittens, often explore the world around them with their mouth. This can lead to bite marks on your furniture and chewed up shoes. One way to discourage them from nibbling is to spray the area with Bitter Apple Spray. The taste puts them off, so they're no longer tempted to munch on your belongings. 

Animals like to lick their wounds to help them heal, but this can cause infections or problems with stitches. Head cones are often used after surgery to prevent them from reaching the sore spot. In addition, this spray can be applied to dressings to discourage pets from fussing over their wound, giving it time to heal undisturbed.
