## Description

Back in 1960 a dog fancier visited Grannick's Pharmacy and explained that her dog would become nervous before every show and start chewing and licking his coat. She asked if there was anything available to help stop him. No such product existed, but in the days when Irv Grannick learned his profession, pharmacists regularly prepared their own compounds and ointments. He tried different bitter flavorings until he came up with a formula that worked. For some time thereafter he gave his customer and her friends what he called "Bitter Apple" free of charge. Word spread among dog fanciers and breeders and before long friends were encouraging Irv to market "Grannick's Bitter Apple." His original "manufacturing plant" was in the kitchen of his home and his wife, Mary, wasn't thrilled. Over the years Grannick's Bitter Apple has grown into a full line of taste-deterrent grooming cosmetics for pets. Many copycat products have come and gone because pets soon acquired a taste for them. Only Grannick's Bitter Apple works and keeps working. Every day more veterinarians, groomers and pet lovers around the world discover the benefits of Grannick's Bitter Apple. Grannick's Bitter Apple is far and away, the most recognized and best selling product line of its kind in the world. Also effective in preventing pets from chewing their beds, your clothes, shoes, furniture, etc.

Review: Great for a temporary deterrent - My little pup has been chewing on everything he could get his teeth on since he was five months, but what do you expect for a dog heading into his terrible doggy two's if he's not there already. I was a little skeptical about the product because my dog actually likes sour lemon things but I bought it because after trying any home remedy trick to get him to stop chewing and nibbling (especially at himself) I thought I'd give it a go. I gave him a small spray on his preferred leg to chew on once it finally came in. He sniffed at it, was curious, licked at it, and then immediately turned his head away. Tried to lick his other leg, I sprayed it there too and he was looking at me like "why are you doing this". He still hadn't really kicked the hand biting so I tried it out on a few of my fingers. The spray is skin safe (at least for me and my pup) but I wouldn't use it as an intended use for that. Definitely wash your hands right after because it can leave you feelin kind of sticky. The scent isn't too strong either. However, it's not a permanent solution so if you're looking for a spray that will magically make them stop chomping, it's not this but it's a close second. After a few hours the spray does stop smelling and with all the pouncing and rolling about dogs are bound to do throughout the day that spray will rub off or get covered with some other thing that will have their teeth gnawing at themselves again. My suggestion is that once you get their attention fully away from whatever you've sprayed, start playing with them or distract them with something else so they don't focus on it. Overall, I think it's pretty successful with my dog; so successful that I have to hide the bottle every time I need to use it hehe. however each pet is different. It'll work for some and it won't for others.
Review: My cat hates it - My cat likes to sometimes chew on cables (both braided and rubber), so I use this stuff preemptively on a lot of the cables in the house and it works great. I gave it a taste myself and it's honestly not that bitter, but I suppose our sense of taste is wildly different to that of a cat. Make sure you don't accidentally get this on anything else (near food, the cat, blankets, etc.), or they'll be very upset (understandably).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I apply it to my hands, socks, and shoes so my puppy can stop biting those places?**
A: It worked with my ferrets.  Personality also makes a difference.  After a few playful nips, one decided I didn't taste good.  The other one had to see how I tasted today.  I ordered a second bottle, but never needed to use it.  He finally gave up.  I did do one thing no one is supposed to do.  One time it was more like a bite and out of reflex, I bonked his head with the remote control in my hand.  I felt bad, but he suddenly saw me as the alpha ferret.  In this case, the bonk on the head worked, but I don't recommend it.  LOL   They were nibbling on my friend's shoes, so I sprayed her shoes.  It was funny, they are walking around her shoes, sniffing, and couldn't figure out why they weren't tasty anymore--but it worked.  Good luck!  It really helped me.  It's been almost a year, but the second bottle is still unopened.

**Q: how often should i spray grannicks bitter apple**
A: I lightly sprayed areas once a day and it took less then a week for the chewing to stop.

**Q: does it stop dogs from chewing door frames**
A: It depends on the dog. Some dogs like the taste according to what I've read but mine hate the taste and it absolutely stopped them from chewing the dog door and dog door frame. You won't know if it works for your dog without trying it, but it worked for mine.

**Q: Why can't it be shipped to me? I'm in California.**
A: This may seem like an odd thing to ask but did you have it in your wishlist? Amazon has an old problem where if you try to buy something in your own wishlist it’ll sometimes say it can’t ship it to you.

Regarding the other answers, wouldn’t it be nice if people that knew anything at all or even looked things up first bothered to answer. First off this is not banned in California. It’s in the shelves of every pet store in the state. And Prop 65 does not ban anything. Not one thing at all. It only requires labeling on products that contain certain chemicals. Turns out that this list includes most everything so it’s basically pointless. However the chemicals in this product are not on this list so this product does not contain a apropos 65 warning.
