Don’t lick Anti-licking tape!!
I work for an e-commerce company that sells various forms of pet products. recently, a rep bought in some new items that we may consider putting on the website to sell and amongst these items was something called an “anti-lick” strip.
The anti-lick strip is designed to stop animals from licking wounds or trying to remove dressings and It has an adhesive backing so you can stick it to bandages and plasters. I asked the rep to leave a sample with us so we could consider placing them on the site and she duly appliquéd, but it wasn’t long before we started wondering just how it worked….
it was being passed around the office and everyone was having a “sniff” so I piped up and made the suggestion “why doesn’t someone lick it”? to which everyone replied “you lick it” and so I did.
I gave it a proper lick, not just a small one and within 3 seconds I was heaving!!! the tape is made up of cayenne pepper, oregano leaf, lemon powder and clove oil. which doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but trust me, it tastes like s**t.
An hour has gone and I still cannot get rid of this disgusting taste out of my mouth and everyone in the office is giving me pelters. take my advice, if you want to stop your animal from licking something, use this tape, take it from me that it works.
I was going to sell the tape but after that experience I am sticking to the dog beds.
