our puppy chewed on his nylon lead, skirt of the sofa, and carpet edges...After we purchased Bitter Apple he was discouraged from any of the chewing habits he had previously. Our family is EXTREMELY happy with the result of this product, and it's very simple to use...follow the directions, you won't have a problem..
We have two Golden puppies (yes, two!) and this product has stopped them from chewing on everything -- wood cabinets, the floor, blinds, couch, etc. To the person that wrote the put it on their dogs paw, that's NOT what it is for!! You could've hurt the dog.
By using the Bitter Apple on your curtains you will probably find that one application will do the trick. Bitter Apple can be used on the pet if they are licking or bitting their body and that is why the directions say spray as needed. If your pet returns to the behavior of chewing the curtains it is safe to use several times.
Bitter Apple spray is a taste-deterrent; it has a bitter flavor that dogs find unpleasant, which therefore discourages chewing or biting the surface upon which it is sprayed. It is meant for use in dogs only, and will not stop your cat from scratching furniture.
Yes, Bitter Apple Spray is safe for rabbits. It is a deterent against chewing but sometimes not always effective for the rabbit. Some rabbits simply don't mind the taste.
