Guide Review - Farnam No Chew-Product Review

I tasted this myself—and it does taste awful, it seemed to have little impact on my cribber. I’ve tried it indoors, on my wood fences and on the edge of a plastic feeder. In all cases the horse didn’t crib or chew while the surface was still wet, but she didn't notice the solution once it dried.

Although the spray bottle is easy to use, it would have been improved with a choice between spray or stream as seen on some household cleaners. I found it was hard to spray without a bit of overspray that went places I didn’t want it to. The product is slighty thick so it doesn't run. Overall, this product was ineffective for stopping my horses from cribbing and chewing.
