Yuk Forte Anti-Lick Gel, 0.5-Ounce

Works great but the tube is VERY small. Would have rated higher if it a larger tube. . Also I wish they had a spray version for certain.applications

Abnormally sticky consistency, very very hard to apply to a bandage, stuck on my fingers like super glue and wouldn't wash off. Worked to stop licking, but super inconvenient.

It really is yucky. The dog licked through it a little bit, but it was a pretty good deterrent.

I ordered this Yuk Forte and received the tube within 2 days (and free), so thanks Amazon Prime. For $12 this is pretty pricey given the size of the tube I received. I had used the other Yuk gel product in a similar size tube but it's much cheaper. Here are some initial thoughts: 1) Works initially just as well as the Yuk2e gel - the trick I learned is to put some in the dog's mouth before applying it to the area affected. They remember that first taste and I have to say there are immediate results in terms of stopping the chewing both on the dog and on pieces of furniture (carpet fringe has been rescued!) 2) It has a smell of citronella to it when you open it it up. I think the smell is a training mechanism as it helps reinforce the horrible taste. 3) This is much thicker and much stickier gel - it reminds me of heavy syrup in terms of consistency. Makes it a bit more work to apply and spread around a suture site. Be careful getting this stuck on fur, it almost acts like glue. 4) It doesn't wash off easy - I did get some on my hand and because I was doing work, didn't wash it off immediately. Once it dries, it is very hard to scrub off. Warm water and lots of soap. I'm giving it 4 stars for now because of price and the stickiness making it harder to apply. Once I get a few more days of use, I'll update if things change. UPDATED to 5 stars as I have now used it on multiple occasions and have had wonderful results each time. Just be careful not to taste it! Oh my goodness, it could be some of the most awful tasting stuff ever...

I have a teacup chi that likes to lick the inside of my havanese's ears. It leaves her ears chapped and itchy. This is a thick sticky mess and didn't slow my chi down at all.

I'm torn on how to rate this - it does work, for a short period of time. My dog obsessively licks his paws for hours until they're raw and bloody. After the vet had us do medicated washes and various allergy medicine I still couldn't get him to stop. So I tried this gel. When I put it in on his paws he will stop licking them for about 45 minutes. No matter how much I put on, and even after putting some in his mouth, I have the impression he's just waiting until he's used to smell/taste to start licking again. Also, totally stinks up the house. I can't be near my dog afterwards because it's irritating to me too. And as he struggles when I put it on, some inevitably ends up on the carpet. Yes, it's small, but more than enough. It's super strong.

I ordered this because my dog had minor surgery on her paw and kept licking the scab off. YES...it is bitter and GRUESOME....I tested it on myself as I do almost everything before I give it to my BELOVED animals....I could not get the taste out of my mouth, it was utterly disgusting! And I barley touched the tip of my tongue to it! I had to brush my teeth multiple times to get the terrible bitterness to subside. I TOTALLY realize that this is what this product should do, keep an animal from wanting to lick any place that this has been applied to. What I DEEPLY and emphatically object to is the instructions on the tube that say: FIRST APPLY TO PATIENT"S TEETH AND/OR HARD PALATE. (to accentuate unpleasant experience.) I find this HIGHLY cruel and UNACCEPTABLE! Trust me, the first time they take a lick of this on any area it has been applied to will be enough! Don't be surprised to find your animal foaming from the mouth if you follow those terrible instructions and deliberately smear it in their mouth. CRUEL!

It's okay. Not that it really works with my dog. He doesn't like the taste for about a minute or two and then it's back to licking he goes. I really don't like that it feels rough like superglue when it dries...and it's a pain to get off the skin.
