Vader's mum Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I wanted to clean up kenobi's wee spots on the carpet I have always used tea tree oil for things like thins but on reading posts here I'm confused is or is it not toxic? I also wanted to put some on the bottom draw as he is chewing the handle. or do you have an alternative? I prefer natural over chemical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Anything is toxic in large enough quantities. But one or two drops of pure tea tree oil should be strong enough scentwise if it is going to deter, and not enough to be toxic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader's mum Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Cool thanks! I was going to water it down so I thought it would be ok I just wanted see first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussielover Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 It is toxic large enough quantities but a sniff should deter him. For wee spots- vinegar is another alternative. Other people have rubbed chillies on stuff to stop chewing, personally i think that would be worse for them and give them an upset tummy and possibly diarrhoea. Also some dogs like the taste Could you just block access to the draw for the moment until you get his chewing under control? I have to say I was lucky and my pup did not ever attempt to chew furniture, she wasn't really much of a chewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader's mum Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 When I say chew its not bad more of a nibble but if I let it go I think it could become a problem. He's great they things he chews on the most is his toys followed by the hag on his bed and then the cats beds oh and my anckles! Not a fan of chilli for him that just seems a little mean???? I cant block of access it's too difficult so this seemed like the next best thing. I just want to nip it in the bud before it develops into something bigger.

Gretel Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I like a quick spray of Aerogard to stop chewing. It's very handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 some dogs can be allergic to tea tree oil, so I would look at using alternatives, like bitter apple spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frufru Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I don't like to burst your bubble but technically anything made of matter is a chemical!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flux Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Dencorub for me and anti-chewing. I gave up on feeling mean when I came home to see the corner of my dresser destroyed and chew toys ignored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
