Puppies, just like babies, have to go through teething. While it is a natural process, it can leave you with chewed furniture, clothes and pretty much anything else within your pup’s reach. If you have tried getting her a chew toy, rolled up a sock for her and she still goes to the furniture, make a simple, safe and effective bitter spray to deter her from chewing on your things.



Step 1Pour 1 cup apple cider or white vinegar into a medium-size spray bottle.

Step 2Add 1 cup lemon juice and 1 cup water to the bottle. Shake it to mix the ingredients.

Step 3Test the spray on the underside of your furniture or inside of shoes. Make sure it does not cause splotching or staining before you spray the entire object.

Hi twinkles We used it on our adult dog when he was a small puppy cause he would chew on the edge of our carpet.We didn't want to purchase any over the counter bitter apple so I ran across this recipe online.
