sarahjng Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Not sure if I'm putting this in the right place, so, mods feel free to move. As many of you know we recently had a litter of ten, I knew they were coming (didn't know it would be ten !) And figured it would be a good idea to get a bitter spray for the inevitable chewing. I bought vets best bitter cherry spray, it was recommended, only problem is, the little monsters love it ! They don't just ignore the taste and keep on chewing, if I spray a hard surface they will actually run to lick the damm stuff off ! I have spoken to the vet about it, mainly in relation to stopping them attacking poor frayjas blobs every time she stands still, he recommended a bitter Apple spray, said they could order it for me, I should have asked how much it was, because I nearly had a heart attack when they called to tell me it was in and the price was £27.61. Are they kidding me ? For £27.61 it better be able to give me dinner and a show as well as stop the piranha behaviour. Anyway, has anyone used one of these sprays ? Can you recommend something that they won't want to lick off ? Has anyone else's dog loved the spray ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Emmmm. I wait with baited breath to see if the all singing all dancing apple bitter spray works for you….. I like cherry so I would probably join them I quite like the name Piranha for a pup…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Never used it before...Have used diluted hot sauce in the past and that worked real good...and a heck of a lot cheaper then gbp 27.61...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I tried a spray that is supposedly the most bitter spray on the planet, made from some cactus - never worked at all White vinegar is good but the smell wears off pretty quick, I have heard the Vicks Vapour Rub works really well as it will stay stinky for a while and sticks to the items you don't want chewed. Edit - oh, hang on did you say you wanted to put it on the Mum to stop the puppies? If that is the case I have no idea, and is certainly one for a breeder.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 We used a bitter apple spray with blaze and he loved it too ( used to chew wood) so we used mustard and that helped with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 We got the bitter apple spray from a pet shop. Probably pets at home seeings as it's round the corner from me. In order for it to work I had to reapply it to the carpet's I wanted Bear to stop ripping up and it did stop her from using her mouth.......sadly she just used her paws to dig it up instead and actually rubbed herself all over the smell.
