Review on 🐶 OUT! PetCare Bitter Cherry Chew Deterrent - Puppy Training Aid to Deter Licking and Chewing, 32 oz by Kenneth Seymour

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Our French bulldog didn't notice anything. did not restrict his chewing or licking in the slightest.

Bought THREE different stop products, including this one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2BSZZY - Bitter Cherry) and two others. None of them had any noticeable effect, other than lightening our wallets. We made the mistake of spraying the kitchen countertop a bit which landed on some gummy bears that fell out of the bag. My wife didn't like it at all! Regarding the inclusion of our 9 month old Frenchie. no bone. If it worked, this bitter cherry would be the cheapest of all the products we tried. Other products were: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I2A6MPG (Bitter Lemon because we observed our French Bulldog not biting the lemons that fall from our tree) - no help. And https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0841LVD57 - Bitter Apple Spray. We really didn't expect this to work, because Zeus spent a long time chewing green apples that fell from our neighbors' apple trees. Long story short, it will likely repel humans adequately, but as many other reviews have noted, it doesn't seem to help dogs at all. HOW WE TESTED IT: Zeus, our Frenchman, found that while he couldn't tear the top surfaces of his dog bed, he CAN flip it over and tear the bottom fabric. So I sprayed copious amounts of each of these substances onto each of the three corners of the bottom of the bed. and even on one of the top surfaces where he "sucks" to calm down. Absolutely no change in behavior. I even repeatedly applied the same products to all three areas until they all got quite wet. Without change. I also tried spraying each of the three products onto rags until half of the rag was damp. Zeus happily chewed and tugged at the wet part of each rag. I didn't notice any change in behavior at all. But me. I touched my mouth with a finger that had touched a bitter lemon and… well, nasty – it was like chewing on an aspirin. Finally I tried spraying the corners of an Amazon box, these 3 products came. Zeus loves to shred boxes. The spray might as well be liver pâté. no change in behavior is observed despite licking and biting various treated surfaces. In short, none of the sprays had any noticeable effect. I'll repeat my experiments but I don't expect any difference. On the plus side, only the Bitter Lemon smelled bad - and only slightly because of its "chemical" flavor. Others smelled nice and I didn't notice any change in the surfaces they were sprayed on.
