You can use commercial products like "Bitter Apple," available from your veterinarian or at a local pet store. Some dogs are unphazed by it. You can also try Tabasco, but be careful not to get it close to the wound. In the end, the surest way is to use an Elizabethan collar, which again is available from your veterinarian or pet store. This is a plastic cone that goes around the dog's head and attaches to his collar. Dogs don't like them, so be patient and try to help him have a good experience starting out by giving him treats and praise while wearing the Elizabethan collar.

Is there anything safe you can put on the stiff stitches after spaying to keep them from sticking to the dog's skin?

Sometimes when the vet has spayed the dog they can often end the stitching (a knot) leaving a piece of the stitch too long that can dig into the dog's belly. Either you can cut off the extra or take the dog back to the vet (there should be no additional cost for this) and have them check the stitches out. Stitches don't stick to the skin, but are sewn in. The vet would have told you when to bring the dog back to have the stitches removed. If the wound looks good and the dog is irritated by the stitches (each dog, just like a human can heal quickly or slowly) perhaps it's time for the dog to have the stitches out. See your vet right away!


Can dogs get stitches without anesthesia?

No. Administering stitches to a dog is a painful process and the dog might react violently due to the pain if the vet tries to put on stitches without sedating him. So it is best to sedate the dog before trying to sew him up.

Why is your dog chewing on the stairs?

Your dog may be chewing on the stairs because he is teething. If your dog is a puppy this is a likely cause. When you see the dog doing this, say no and give the dog something safe to chew on. Your dog may also be chewing on the stairs because he is bored. Try playing with the dog, and giving him interesting toys to play with.
