Suitable for all breeds and life stages, it’s the go-to deterrent trusted by pet owners and professionals alike. ## Description Back in 1960 a dog fancier visited Grannick's Pharmacy and explained that her dog would become nervous before every show and start chewing and licking his coat. She asked if there was anything available to help stop him. No such product existed, but in the days when Irv Grannick learned his profession, pharmacists regularly prepared their own compounds and ointments. He tried different bitter flavorings until he came up with a formula that worked. For some time thereafter he gave his customer and her friends what he called "Bitter Apple" free of charge. Word spread among dog fanciers and breeders and before long friends were encouraging Irv to market "Grannick's Bitter Apple." His original "manufacturing plant" was in the kitchen of his home and his wife, Mary, wasn't thrilled. Over the years Grannick's Bitter Apple has grown into a full line of taste-deterrent grooming cosmetics for pets. Many copycat products have come and gone because pets soon acquired a taste for them. Only Grannick's Bitter Apple works and keeps working. Every day more veterinarians, groomers and pet lovers around the world discover the benefits of Grannick's Bitter Apple. Grannick's Bitter Apple is far and away, the most recognized and best selling product line of its kind in the world. Also effective in preventing pets from chewing their beds, your clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. Review: Powerful stuff works well - Great stuff works well slows down a hipper hound dog from biting or jumping Review: Every dog is different, but this spray is effective for our Corgi puppy! - It would appear that this product can be hit or miss depending on how your dog does (or doesn't) react to it. With that being said, it has been effective for our Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy. She is 5 months old now and we have been using it over the course of the last 2 months to help discourage her from biting certain spots in our home while she is teething. It is by no means a cure all. When it has been recently applied, she sniffs and walks away. If she goes so far as to try and bite the spot (which is rare) she does not return to it. We find that it needs to be reapplied after a day or two depending on the surface/material as she will often find her way back to these spots after some time has passed. She can be a bit stubborn and is not always easily discouraged, so we use it more as an on the spot remedy to help keep our furniture and belongings safe than a long term deterrent by association. Over the course of two months she has not developed a taste or tolerance for it so it continues to be an effective tool while she is teething. ## Features - Discourages fur biting - Spray bottle for more coverage - Eliminates hot spots - Can also be used to deter chewing on furniture, clothing, and harnesses - Pack of 2 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 6,504 Reviews | ## Images ![Grannicks Bitter Apple 8oz w/Sprayer-2 pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lkguSVM-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I apply it to my hands, socks, and shoes so my puppy can stop biting those places?** A: It worked with my ferrets. Personality also makes a difference. After a few playful nips, one decided I didn't taste good. The other one had to see how I tasted today. I ordered a second bottle, but never needed to use it. He finally gave up. I did do one thing no one is supposed to do. One time it was more like a bite and out of reflex, I bonked his head with the remote control in my hand. I felt bad, but he suddenly saw me as the alpha ferret. In this case, the bonk on the head worked, but I don't recommend it. LOL They were nibbling on my friend's shoes, so I sprayed her shoes. It was funny, they are walking around her shoes, sniffing, and couldn't figure out why they weren't tasty anymore--but it worked. Good luck! It really helped me. It's been almost a year, but the second bottle is still unopened. **Q: how often should i spray grannicks bitter apple** A: I lightly sprayed areas once a day and it took less then a week for the chewing to stop. **Q: does it stop dogs from chewing door frames** A: It depends on the dog. Some dogs like the taste according to what I've read but mine hate the taste and it absolutely stopped them from chewing the dog door and dog door frame. You won't know if it works for your dog without trying it, but it worked for mine. **Q: Why can't it be shipped to me? I'm in California.** A: This may seem like an odd thing to ask but did you have it in your wishlist? Amazon has an old problem where if you try to buy something in your own wishlist it’ll sometimes say it can’t ship it to you. Regarding the other answers, wouldn’t it be nice if people that knew anything at all or even looked things up first bothered to answer. First off this is not banned in California. It’s in the shelves of every pet store in the state. And Prop 65 does not ban anything. Not one thing at all. It only requires labeling on products that contain certain chemicals. Turns out that this list includes most everything so it’s basically pointless. However the chemicals in this product are not on this list so this product does not contain a apropos 65 warning. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful stuff works well *by G***A on July 30, 2026* Great stuff works well slows down a hipper hound dog from biting or jumping ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every dog is different, but this spray is effective for our Corgi puppy! *by B***I on September 7, 2013* It would appear that this product can be hit or miss depending on how your dog does (or doesn't) react to it.

We purchased it in hopes it would keep our cat from chewing up power cords, and the jury is still out on that. However, I now recall trying this or a similar product 25 years ago with the same result we saw today: To a Labrador, it's "Eew, that smells bad; argh, it tastes bad, too." Within 10 minutes though, it becomes a case of "O.K., I'll put up with it to continue the standard Lab M.O. - "How do I know it's inedible unless I try?" ## Frequently Bought Together - Grannicks Bitter Apple 8oz w/Sprayer-2 pack - Amazon Elements Baby Wipes, Sensitive, 810 Count, Flip-Top Packs, Pack of 9 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/18297927-grannicks-bitter-apple-8oz-w-sprayer-2-pack](https://www.desertcart.at/products/18297927-grannicks-bitter-apple-8oz-w-sprayer-2-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
