just had one replaced, due to dog eating the wires casing.



apart from the large muzzle and/or cage (dog will not chew anything else only the blo&dy heater strip and enclosed wiring i don;t know how., she just does)



has anyone got any bright ideas for protection of the wiring/area in the back (something to enclose it or cover it??)



and not for the cause of the problem, as she wont do it again..

How about upgrading it to 240v?

You could try wrapping silver foil around the cable outer sheath, our dog hates silver foil and wont touch anything thats got it on for some strange reason. Just an idea but might just work and it only cost pennies to try You could also try a repelant spray from a vet, something that tastes foul to your dog that you could spray onto the cable and see what happens if he goes for it again.

My dogs love that stuff. They immediately lick it off, which is very bizarre.

Whatever you make, cover it in coarse sandpaper, the problem will soon solve itself.
