This spray is a bittering solution made primarily of deionized water along with a bittering agent and citric acid, formulated to discourage pets from chewing, licking or biting. It can be applied to household items such as furniture, drapes and wood, as well as directly on skin areas like hot spots, sores, paws, tails and bandages. The water-based, alcohol-free formula is designed not to sting when used near wounds or over topical medication, and it dries clear and non-sticky. It is intended for use on washable surfaces indoors or outdoors, though testing a small hidden area first is recommended before broader application. The spray comes in a trigger-style bottle for even application and is meant to be reapplied consistently until the unwanted chewing or licking behavior subsides. Results can vary between individual pets because taste preferences differ.
