Did not work for my Lab
PostedMarch 24, 2013
CatahoulaGuy
from Roseburg, OR
My lab will obsessively lick his feet at times. I purchased this stuff to spray on his feet to deter him, and he doesn't seem to care at all.
By human taste, it is EXTREMELY bitter, but it must not bother my dog.
I gave two stars because, just like the bottle says, I took the remaining portion back and was given a refund, no questions asked!
I also put that I would recommend it because you can try it and return it if you are not satisfied. It may work on other breeds, but my lab seems like he is attracted to it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Didn't work

from Fort Mohave, AZ
I soaked a corner of the pillow my dog was chewing on and she licked this stuff right off. So I thought "it can't be that bitter" and sprayed it on my hand. She licked that off too. So I tasted a tiny bit, and was tasting it for 3 days! I washed and washed and couldn't get the taste off my hands. It was awful! But my dog liked it, so it accomplished nothing.

Dogs LOVE It!

You don't want your dog to love something he's not supposed to lick! Both my dog and my mom's will even try to get the bottle to get more. Definitely does not work.

My kitties haven't chewed a wire since I bought it! I love this stuff! Only downside is you have to wash and I mean WASH your hands thoroughly before you touch your face or eat because it does linger!!!

Btw- it doesn't seem to bother my dog!

Used it on my Macaw
PostedJuly 3, 2012
MaraW
from St. Leonard, MD
I have a red front macaw who loves to chew her beautiful feathers. She doesnt pluck, just chews them to rags out of boredom, an d lucky me, she doesnt care for any toy in the world. So I finally found a bird safe chew detterent. Seems to work well. When she chews her feathers, it's just a lick now. She doesnt dare chew it, bit goes to and licks them and tries to search for a feather not touched by Fooey. The only problem is that I have to soak her with the product to get to every single feather. Works though and is odorless. If you spray too much it gets in your lungs and nasal like the flu mist and is just terrible. the only way I can get the taste out of my mouth ad off my hands is using toothpaste. I cant kiss her anymore because the stuff really stays in her feathers for days and comes off on my lips :X The bottle just streams and doesn't mist but for a dollar you can go the store and by a spray bottle, which is what I did.

My cats favorite hobby is to eat and destroy all of my houseplants. This spray stopped that. I accidentally got some in my mouth when I was spraying them and couldn't believe how gross it was.

Does not work
PostedJanuary 1, 2012
Clsmith005
from Ohio
My puppy doesn't like the taste of it, but it doesn't stop him from chewing. The product seems not to last long at all. I spray the same areas repeatedly and my puppy just licks it all off immediately and commences chewing or comes back later unphased by the repellant. It also comes out in a stream that makes it impossible to apply where you want it, and then it just drips onto the floor.

My daughter brought home a stray abondoned dog. The vet says he is about one year old. He is pretty good and happy to have a home but he had a terrible habit of chewing on shoes. No matter where you put your shoes, he would find them and chew. I purchased the bitter spray for all of our shoes. I have not lost a pair yet since purchasing the spray. I am extremely happy with the results - as long as i remember to spray the shoes, i don't lose any :)

Works but...

This product does work, but you can't just spray it on and expect it to do the work. You still have to watch the dog and not allow them to chew. The taste and saying 'no' discourages my dog perfectly.

Definitely Bitter
PostedMay 1, 2011
mandawhtny
from New York City
After I spray this on things, my own hands sometimes taste gross. It's definitely bad-tasting, and my puppy won't chew on the thing after it's been sprayed. She might go back to chew on it later, but compared to other products this has been the best at deterring further chewing. It's not transparent like some other products. It's got a yellow tinge to it, so spraying it on white stuff means it will be visible.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I used it around the house but I can't tell if it works as I do not watch kitty all day. Though one time I just sprayed it and kitty happened to bite on the wire. After he tasted it shook his head and ran away so it seemed to work!

Eh- Just Okay

BiSHiEE
from new york, ny
I would say this product partially works; he doesn't like the taste I can tell by his face but I'm pretty sure the taste wears off quickly because he's back at the spots again. Also, the taste doesn't deter him from chewing on his favorite spot, just for not as long. My biggest problem is the spray, it's more like a stream shot which ends up dripping on my fingers or dripping off the desired area onto the floor. I wish it was more of a focused mist so I could get more of the product where I wanted it to.

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS!
PostedJanuary 24, 2011
Grumpa
from California
My wife just came home with a 16 oz. bottle of this stuff and we sprayed a few items that our 10 week old Beagle puppy has been chewing. Including my slippers.
I noticed she was still chewing a chair in our breakfast room and also my slippers. So I sprayed a LOT onto my slippers so that they were wet with this product and placed them on the floor. The puppy immediately licked off all the product from the slippers.
It is absolutely worthless as an anti-chew product!

Pay Backs Are the Worst
PostedDecember 8, 2010
Glitchie
from Rio Rancho, NM
I bought this stuff because we wanted to keep our kitten, Jasper from chewing on our electronics cables, and while it appears that it works alright for that, the recent *brilliant* idea I had with him has caused him to pay us back 100 fold. What was my brilliant idea? Spraying it on the Soft Paw Claw Caps that he has been trying to chew off. He will lick his paws and taste it, shake his head and stop, then lick the rest of his body before rubbing up against our skin. Then we get it when we eat finger foods. How do you get this stuff OFF!?!?! I have tried all different kinds of soap and nothing works!!

I read all the reviews and it seems to work for EVERY animal except DOGS! I have bought other bitter repells before and MY puppy LOVES them all... I have about 6 different types, lol. So I am guessing this is the same, I read your reviews and that is sad. I need something that works for pups that will keep her from chewing her harnesses.. they are expensive and she chews thru them in less than 15 minutes!

My puppy loved this spray and just chewed more on everything I sprayed it on. I don't know about the whole guarantee thing- I will be returning it if possible. Otherwise, I'll try previous reviewer's suggestion of vinegar and tabasco.

I've used other Bitter products before, and this one isn't the best. My puppy still bites the strings on my shoes, and corners of the rug that I have SOAKED with Fooey. I think I'm going to return this to Petco; thankfully they have a satisfaction guaranteed policy for this item. I would try a different kind.
