Greenfields Dog & Cat Stay Away Spray - 400ml

The Greenfields Dog and Cat Stay Away Spray is a scent deterrent for the one corner of the garden, the doorway or the bin that every passing animal seems to have decided is theirs.

How To Use It

• Clear away any droppings first, and hose the area down if it needs it.
• Shake the bottle, then spray the area you want left alone.
• Repeat for a stubborn animal, and again after rain.
• Test a small patch first on paving, decking or anything painted.

How Well Deterrent Sprays Work

Worth being straight about this: a scent deterrent works on some animals and not others, and nothing you spray outdoors lasts long. Rain, sprinklers and sun all take it off, so it needs reapplying -- Greenfields say to repeat after rainfall. A determined cat that has used the same flower bed for years will often carry on regardless. Treat it as one part of the answer rather than the whole of it.

What Else Helps Outdoors

• Cats dislike walking on anything loose or prickly. Pine cones, coarse bark or twigs pushed into a bed put them off more reliably than scent does.
• Dense planting works. Cats want bare, diggable soil.
• A motion-activated sprinkler is the one deterrent almost nothing argues with.
• If it is your own dog, give it a spot you are happy with and reward it there. Blocking everywhere without offering an alternative rarely goes well.

Who Makes It

Greenfields is part of Orange Pet Brands, based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. They say they have more than twenty years in pet care and that their shampoos are produced in the Netherlands, paraben-free, biodegradable and pH balanced.

Good To Know

• This one is out of stock at the moment, so the page is here for reference while we wait on the next delivery.
• Greenfields' published composition for this product includes 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one, a preservative that can cause a skin reaction in sensitive people and animals. Wash your hands after use and keep pets off a treated surface until it is dry.
• Keep it off plants you care about and off anything your pet eats or drinks from. It is a surface deterrent, not a plant or bowl spray.
• Do not spray it at or near an animal. It is for surfaces.
• Read the label before use and keep it out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dark place.
