Anti-Chew & Crib Biting Prevention

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: Do anti-chew sprays harm horses?

    No — quality deterrent sprays use bitter ingredients that discourage chewing without causing harm when used as directed.

  • Q: Where can anti-chew products be applied?

    Most sprays and gels are safe for stable doors, fencing, rugs and tack. Always check product instructions first.

  • Q: Will cribbing collars stop the behaviour completely?

    Collars help reduce cribbing but work best alongside management changes and enrichment.

  • Q: How often should deterrents be reapplied?

    This depends on weather and use. Many products require reapplication every few days for best results.

  • Q: Why do horses chew or crib bite?

    Common causes include boredom, stress or digestive discomfort. Prevention products work best when combined with good management and turnout.
