Ingredients and Formulation

Grannick's Bitter Apple Spray is formulated with water, isopropanol 20%, and bitter principals and extractives. The bitter taste compounds create an unpleasant oral sensation that deters dogs from licking or chewing the treated area. The isopropanol base allows for quick drying upon application. This formula does not contain artificial fragrances or dyes beyond the active bitter extractives.

Usage, Application, and Frequency Guidance

Spray directly onto the fur, coat, or skin area where chewing or licking is occurring. Reapply as needed, particularly after bathing or when the deterrent effect diminishes. For hot spots, apply around the affected area as directed by your veterinarian. Test on a small area of coat first to confirm compatibility with your dog's skin. Frequency of application will vary based on the dog's behavior and the severity of the chewing habit.

Functional Use

Grannick's Bitter Apple Spray functions as a topical behavioral deterrent. The bitter taste discourages self-directed chewing and licking behaviors including fur biting, hair chewing, and hot spot aggravation. It is not a medicated treatment and does not address the underlying cause of chewing behavior. For persistent or medically related chewing, consult your veterinarian.

Safety, Usage, and Storage Guidance

• For external use on dogs only - do not apply to open wounds or severely broken skin without veterinary guidance
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes during application
• Test on a small area of coat before full application to check for sensitivity
• If skin irritation develops, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep out of reach of children

Cleaning and Maintenance

Wipe the spray nozzle clean after each use to prevent clogging. Store upright with the cap secured to maintain spray function and prevent leakage.
