Re: Need a dog repellent

I've used it on my cat to keep him from chewing his fur off.

When both my dogs were...teething - we used a spray on most everything
called apple bitters. Worked great for keeping them from chewing and once
they learned the scent - they just stayed clear. Not sure how it would work
outside but inside was great!

Bonnie that made me laugh out loud. I had the same issue with mine.
Repellants were a GREAT thing to the dogs.
Cyndi, visions of Trixie made me laugh too. Ah the joys of dogs. I know
they

have those recipes listed online somewhere. Probably under organic deer
repellant or something. I've not had to use anything like that since my
dogs

were puppies. That was a long time ago. Let us know how it turns out.
