House rules

Asked at the crossing

Does it actually work? On most pets, immediately — one lick and the chewing session is over. Independent testing measured 8 of 10 dogs deterred. The stubborn remainder need the spray paired with redirection and rewards, which is what the deterrent was always designed for.

Is it safe to spray on my pet's skin? Yes — that is the formula's whole party trick. No alcohol, no fragrance, no dye, pH neutral, non-caustic. It goes on hot spots, bandage edges and much-licked paws as comfortably as on the couch.

Will it stain the sofa? Fooey! is dye-free and non-staining, but fabric is fabric: test a hidden corner for colorfastness first, exactly as the label says.

How often do I reapply? Daily at first, and after cleaning or rain outdoors. As the habit fades, so can the schedule.

Why does the spray smell like nothing? Because odor is not the weapon — taste is. Humans notice nothing until a finger reaches the mouth. Wash your hands after spraying; the bitters play no favorites.

Do you sell the bottles here? No — every buy button rolls straight through to the live Amazon listing, where price, stock and delivery are set.
