- According to the author of the original novel, Stephen King, on which the film's screenplay was based, he barely remembers working on "Cujo" as he was heavily using drugs at the time.
- The dogs filming in the movie often had their tails tied to their legs, because the animals enjoyed what was happening so much that they wagged their tails tirelessly during filming. There was only one mishap – when the camera shows Cujo from behind. According to the plot, the dog is preparing to pounce on the victim while enthusiastically wagging its tail.
- The foam in Cujo's mouth was created by mixing egg whites with sugar. The dog constantly licked up this treat.
- During the filming of the attack scene, Danny Pintauro actually bit Dee Wallace-Stone on the fingers. The actress's reaction was completely genuine.
- Stephen King wrote the story of Cujo after he once took his motorcycle in for repair and saw the mechanic's dog.
- During filming, Danny Pintauro was only six years old and could not yet read. He memorized his lines by rote, and his mother, who was constantly on set, helped him with this.
- In some scenes, a Rottweiler was used because the Saint Bernard looked too friendly.
- The fog in the scene where Brett comes across the already infected Cujo was created using a fog machine, also known as a smoke machine. So much smoke or fog was produced that the local fire department thought the forests were on fire.
- The plot revolves around Donna and her son locking themselves in a car to escape Cujo, where it becomes hot and stuffy. In reality, it was cold during filming. At one point, heaters even had to be squeezed into the car so the actors wouldn't freeze, but they still had to be turned off for shooting so their noise wouldn't interfere with the filming process.
- According to the author of the original novel, Stephen King, on which the film’s screenplay was based, he barely remembers working on “Cujo” because he was heavily using drugs at the time.
