Cheap NaturVet Bitter Yuck No Chew Spray

Customer Ratings:

We have three dogs: a Beagle mix, a Pomeranian mix, and a pure bred Mastiff. They were chewing on our wood furniture and couch cushions. So, I bought this spray and applied it as directed. They kept chewing. So, I literally soaked the items with this stuff. They kept chewing.

All this stuff accomplishes is two things:

#1: It wastes your money. Let's face it, it's essentially water with some bitter rosemary extract in it. It's not exactly worth what they charge for it.

#2: It coats everything in a very bitter-tasting spray. So, if you put it on anything you handle or lay on frequently, this stuff will eventually end up in your mouth. Not to mention the taste of the overspray when you apply it.

Don't even bother with this. The only good thing I can say about it is that it is odor free.

You're best of trying other methods to prevent chewing.

Purchased this for a cat that needs to stop licking himself for medical reasons. I was suspicious since the ingredients are water, baking soda, and rosemary (my cats actually like the smell of rosemary), but I wanted to try something natural.

I applied the spray to the cat's fur and he promptly licked himself, paused, and then continued licking himself. I, however, got some of the liquid on my hand and later in the night touched my lips. Regretted that inadvertent action for the remainder of the night due to the lingering taste on my lips and tongue.

The cat has continued to lick himself in the area of application and actually spends even more time grooming himself now.

I am returning the product for "bitter apple", which is more effective.

I can't recommend this product at all. I bought it to stop my cat from eating cut flowers. After spraying the flowers my cat jumped right on the table and started chewing--he wasn't bothered at all. Meanwhile, I had the grossest taste in my mouth from the spray being in the air. Within a minute of spraying this my kids (who were in another room) began to complain of a nasty taste in the air. Even now, a week after using the product, I still get hints of it--it seems to be coating every surface in the house and anytime I touch something it clings to my hands. Definitely not recommended! I've used a bitter apple spray with great results. Only bought this because the shop was out of bitter apple and the sales person told me this was "about the same". It's not!

Honest reviews on NaturVet Bitter Yuck No Chew Spray

I can't say the if the product does or doesn't work, I can only tell you our experience with Bitter Yuck and our dog. Below is my experience with the product.

My dog had surgery and wore an e-collar for a few months so she would be more comfortable and not disturb the area that was healed. Upon the vet's suggestion we purchased Bitter Yuck. A few hours after administering the first dose we fed our dog her dinner; within a few hours she threw up. She threw up the next morning as well. We had not correlated that the vomiting was related to the Bitter Yuck so we applied it again that evening. The next morning she threw up again. At that point, I called the vet and spoke with them as I realized it might be this product. The vet concurred; saying the taste of the product is bad and might make my dog feel queasy. I was not worried about the product per se as I knew it was not toxic. I took my dog to the vet -and she was slightly dehydrated. I told the vet I shampooed my dog's leg to take the product off and she explained that it is difficult to wash off -the taste would be there for a while. My dog is now on a few meds, the product has not been used for 3 days, and she is still vomiting. The e-collar was working just fine; I wish I'd never listened to the vet.

My dog was sensitive to this product and it's use proved to be at much too great an expense to her health. I would never have used something like this to prevent a certain behavior on my human child and I should never have used this on my 4-legged child! She is equally important and loved by our family!

I would not recommend this product.

Which is not a good thing. I purchased this product as I have a teething puppy who is chewing everything she can fit into her mouth. I was hoping Bitter Yuck would discourage some of the chewing, but I was finding that it wasn't. So to test it further I spayed a healthy puddle of it in the palm of my hand. The puppy went crazy over it and licked my palm clean. I called my adult dog over and the result was the same. He loved it as well. I tried a similar product (also water based) called Phooey. Both dogs went nuts over this product as well licking my palm clean. Lastly I tried some Bitter Apple. This one they didn't like at all, but dogs took a lick and pulled their heads back in disgust.

While a nice concept, Bitter Yuck instead is an attractant and a treat. It encourages the exact behaviors it is marketed to prevent. At least with my two dogs, YMMV.
