VetIQ Stool Repel tablets have been specially formulated to help deter this behaviour by making the dogs own stool unpalatable to eat. VetIQ Stool Repel contains Oleoresin Capsicum, a lachrymatory agent, which deters a puppy or dog from eating its own stool by causing a mild irritation to the eyes and a mild burning sensation if the stool is eaten. It also contains the enzyme, Alpha-Amylase which breaks down starches, improving the animal's digestive performance. Coprophagia is a behavioural condition with puppies and dogs consuming their own faeces. It is a common habit and can be distressful for the pet owner and unhygienic for the pet.
Suitable for dogs and puppies aged 12 weeks and over. Give one tablet per 10kg of bodyweight daily for 2 weeks after coprophagia is first observed. If results are not satisfactory, double the quantity of tablets and administer for 2 more weeks. As a prevention, continue to feed 1 tablet daily. Increasing the physical activity of your pet and feeding a high quality diet may also assist in stopping this behaviour.
The popular Deter Coprophagia Tablets are no longer manufactured, but this is a suitable alternative.
