My feed store carries a 4 oz bottle for $9.99 It stings on humans...ask me how I know this!!! So yeah, it might make them rethink the taste. lol It says you have to might need to use more then one application. We use it to keep the powdered wound care on. So the powder protects and heals the injured, then the nasty stuff keeps them from making it worse, while also helping healing.
