In 1960, a dog fancier visited Grannick's Pharmacy and explained that her dog would become nervous before every show, leading to excessive chewing and licking of his coat. She inquired if there was any available solution to address this issue. Although no such product existed initially, the pharmacist, Irv Grannick, who had learned his profession during a time when pharmacists regularly prepared their own compounds and ointments, decided to experiment. He tried different bitter flavorings until he developed a formula that proved effective.
For some time, Irv Grannick provided this "Bitter Apple" solution to his customer and her friends free of charge. Word of the product's success quickly spread among dog fanciers and breeders, who encouraged Irv to consider marketing it as "Grannick's Bitter Apple." However, Irv's original "manufacturing plant" was located in the kitchen of his home, and his wife, Mary, was not entirely thrilled with the arrangement.
Over the years, Grannick's Bitter Apple has evolved into a full line of taste-deterrent grooming cosmetics for pets. Many copycat products have come and gone, as pets often acquire a taste for them. However, Grannick's Bitter Apple remains the only solution that continues to be effective. Veterinarians, groomers, and pet lovers around the world have discovered the remarkable benefits of Grannick's Bitter Apple, making it the most recognized and best-selling product of its kind in the world.
In addition to preventing pets from chewing their beds, clothes, shoes, and furniture, Grannick's Bitter Apple is also effective in discouraging fur biting, hair chewing, and the development of hot spots. Simply spraying the problem areas can help deter chewing behavior in pets.
Beware of imitations, as pets may eventually acquire a taste for them. Grannick's Bitter Apple remains the only solution that consistently keeps working, making it the go-to choice for pet owners seeking a reliable and effective way to prevent destructive chewing habits.
