Sebastian D. ★★★★★

Our golden retriever has stopped gnawing on the couch legs completely since we started spraying this, and it doesn't leave any sticky residue like other deterrents we've tried. The bitter taste lasts long enough to break the habit without needing constant reapplication.

Abigail ★★★★★

My beagle was destroying the corners of every cushion until I started using this. One spray and he sniffs it once, gives me this betrayed look, and walks off. The 8 oz bottle has lasted me almost two months since a little goes a long way.

Thomas ★★★★★

I spray this on the furniture legs and my puppy hasn't touched them since — she sniffs once and walks away. The 8 oz bottle has lasted me almost two months, which surprised me. It's bitter enough that even my hands taste awful after applying it, but that's honestly the point.
