Product Information

Oh winter – there are so many things I don’t like about you. And at the top of the list is taking my dog out to do his business. So for cold-phobia people like me (and in my defense, the dog isn’t too keen on the snow either), there’s The Pet Loo, an indoor potty for dogs. We’ve rounded up the ten best-reviewed, most efficient no-chew sprays for dogs to help you narrow down your choice. This can also be used on cats. Additionally , it can be sprayed on fabric, upholstery, and other furniture. Owners report having positive effects, though it is not a home run for every dog. This spray is not safe for the eyes or genital area, so avoid spraying near those places. It is safe to spray on plants, though the company claims that it should not kill or harm them. However, it is not recommended to use it on plants excessively. Pros It’s important to note that an anti-chew spray isn’t a dog repellent. A dog repellent keeps your dog away from specific areas in your home – often by using chili powder. Your dog will still go near an anti-chew spray, he just won’t bite it.

While the other sprays are intended to be sprayed on objects, this spray is intended to be used on your dog. Using Vitamin E, eucalyptus, and menthol, it is one of the few bitter sprays that also includes natural remedies for hot spots in dogs. Bandage the area – Wounds on extremities (legs and tail) should be bandaged to protect them from your dog’s tongue. Even with an e-collar on, your dog may still be able to reach these areas so bandages provide a secondary layer of protection. For some dogs, they just see sex as a form of activity or play that they want to be part of. So, they jump on the bed or whine at you until you give in and give them the attention they’re craving.

How to Stop a Dog from Licking Objects

If your dog gets injured, you want to make sure that its wound does not get further infected by cleaning out the wound thoroughly. By placing a bandage over the wound you create a hygienic environment that helps a ton in speeding up the healing process. Just make sure to keep in mind that wounds still require a proper flow of oxygen so that they can heal properly. Most dogs stop their most destructive chewing at around 6 months, This is when they lose their baby teeth so they won’t be teething anymore and have to chew your shoes for some relief. I am not trained in use of essentail oils for animals–obviously things can affect them differently than they do humans. If your dog is left home alone, he might become anxious when you leave. Many dogs chew to relieve this anxiety. [ 4]

You can wash the wound with a syringe, and doing so repeatedly not only disinfects the wound, but also removes any debris from the area. If you plan to continue to use a saline solution, make a new mixture with each use so bacteria doesn’t collect in the water. This one attaches to an existing collar and has Velcro straps so owners can make a snug fit. It comes in four sizes, and the airbag comes out easily to wash the cover. Pros If your dog scratches more at night, consider their sleeping area. Does it have any potential irritants such as wool, feathers, or dust?

The honest answer to this question is to test which bitter sprays will work best for your dog. We have two different kinds of bitter sprays and adjust them accordingly based on the dog’s mood and appetite. The product is all-natural, colour, and almost odor-free and is incredibly effective for dogs of all ages. The spray is water-based and is safe enough to spray on wounds, plants, and pretty much any surface a dog might chew on. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, making it incredibly versatile. One of the factors we wanted to test when ranking anti-chew sprays was how long they lasted. After all, it doesn’t matter how well an anti-chew spray works if you need to reapply it every hour to deter your dog. Their Chew Repellent is an affordable and highly-effective all-natural blend that is alcohol-free. It is safe for dogs above the age of six weeks. The spray is made from bitter lemon extracts and fragrances which produces an incredibly strong, bitter, and unpleasant taste that will deter your pup from pretty much any washable surface.
