FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more about PetMax.

What is Grannick's Bitter Apple Gel?

It's an anti-lick, anti-chew gel designed to discourage dogs from biting fur, chewing hair, or licking hot spots and wounds. The bitter taste makes treated areas unappealing without harming the dog.

Has it been around long?

Yes — Grannick's Bitter Apple was invented by a pharmacist in 1960 and has been a go-to anti-chew product for over 60 years. Its longevity speaks to how reliably it works.

How do I apply it?

Apply directly to the area you want your dog to leave alone — fur over a hot spot, around a stitched wound, or on a paw being licked raw. Reapply as the gel dries off, usually a few times a day for active chewing.

Is it safe?

Yes — bitter to taste but harmless. Safe to apply directly to skin, fur, and even over minor wounds. Avoid the eyes.

Gel vs spray version — which?

The gel stays put on fur and targeted areas — better for very localized application like a single hot spot. The spray covers larger areas faster. Pick based on whether you need spot precision or broad coverage.
