Dooney is a licking fiend! I've tried the bitter apple stuff and it does work better than anything else I've tried but it's still not a cure for licking. We just deal with it. lol

bitter apple works for chewie at first, but when it dries it's useless. the smell is what gets to him moreso than the taste, and i guess the smell goes away when it's dry.

Nature's Miracle is a cleaning product, I'm not sure it's particularly intended to be used as a deterrent.

Nature's Miracle is a brand name in which they have "spot remover" sprays and anti-licking/biting sprays.

I didnt know they made other stuff, I guess I havent seen anything else around here other then the cleaning stuff they have. Good to know :)

Bella licks ALL THE TIME too, I think she thinks it's her way of petting us since she does it the most when she's getting her belly rubbed, it gets annoying, but oh well :)
