Product description
A dog that can't stop fussing over a healing wound — or has decided the sofa cushions are a chew toy — needs a gentle nudge in the right direction. Grannicks Bitter Apple Spray delivers just that: a sour taste that most dogs find unpleasant without causing them any harm.
Apply it to a wound dressing to deter licking during recovery, or mist it onto furniture, cables, or whatever else your dog has decided to gnaw on. It's also effective at discouraging fur biting and over-grooming, which can leave the coat patchy and skin irritated. Suitable for cats, dogs, and ferrets.
- Non-toxic formula safe for pets
- Spray bottle for precise, easy application
- Helps protect wounds from licking and interference
- Discourages chewing of furniture and household items
- Helps reduce fur biting and over-grooming
- Available in 8oz (236ml) and 16oz (473ml)
What the options mean. Sold in sizes from 236ml to 473ml — £11.99 to £16.99.
Who it's for: Persistent chewers of any breed, recovering dogs, and dogs prone to over-grooming — from Beagles and Labradors to Poodles and Golden Retrievers.
Why we chose it
A sour taste most dogs find unpleasant and none find harmful, which is the whole mechanism. Onto a dressing to stop licking during recovery, or onto whatever furniture has been chosen this week. Two sizes, and a patch test first.
