NaturVet Coprophagia Stool Deterrent With Breath Aid

Yes it is a SURPRISE that such a small nugget does such big effect. I split the nugget in half since my puppy is only six months and give her the other half in the afternoon. There are times when it doesn’t work and perhaps it is due to the time given. The jar doesn’t state the time nor if it should be before or after meals, which is something important to know.
I know several people who use it and they are very happy with results. For me, it has been some days good and some days not so good.

I purchased these treats because my puppy is eating her poo. Which is gross, but not uncommon. I read the reviews and it was kind of a toss up whether they would work or not. Some said they would work, some said it didn’t work for them. These are not eligible for returns. Very important detail! Because if I had bought them at Petsmart or in a local shop, I would be able to return them if they didn’t work. However, I’m stuck paying $15 for treats, basically. She is still eating her poo. Instead go for a product called for-bid.
Amazon wants me to add a photo to my review, but I don’t think it would be cool to add a photo of my pup eating her poo next to this jar of treats. I’ll spare you all.
***EDITED TO ADD*** the seller contacted me and gave me a refund since the item didn’t work for us, so I revised my review to 4 stars. I appreciate that since they did not work for us.

My dogs like these as treats, but this has no effect whatsoever on the poo-eating problem. My rescued dachshund Gillie has recently rebegun his illicit snacking habits which we assume he developed during his time living in desperate conditions on the streets. He was skin and bones when we got him, and he still has some anxiety and other behaviors learned as a stray, such as hoarding food, cramming multiple chews in his mouth and just carrying them everywhere, chugging water all at once instead of occasional refreshment, and marking eeeeverywhere. And eating poop.

We thought we had broken him of the habit several years ago, but he’s started up again in the last few months. Vet checkup found no dietary reason, no nutritional deficiency, so it’s a behavioral thing, but we don’t know what’s changed to bring this back on. Previously, we were able to stop him by mixing cooked broccoli in with the dinners off all our dogs; while it tastes good going in, apparently they don’t like how it tastes from the other end. That, plus good nutrition, and showing him he could rely on us to feed him every day, and give him cookies and chews and toys and blankets and love, seemed to have been what broke his habit before. He’s still a squirrelly little guy, definitely with doggie-PTSD after goodness knows how he struggled when homeless and alone. But he’s settled a lot and definitely feels he’s part of the family. I really don’t know why he’s started up again.

Broccoli was effective before but I thought this time I’d look for a more convenient alternative. Doh! This stuff doesn’t work. And we’ve also tried adding meat tenderizer to his food – the kind with no msg – but not only does it not stop coprophagia, it’s made him picky on the wrong end of the process!

So we’re going to hope cooked broccoli works this time around, while we still investigate potential reasons for the behavior so we can possibly correct the problem for good. (Fingers crossed!) If this product failed for you and your dog, I recommend trying cooked broccoli, just about a 1 to 4 ratio with their food, wet or dry. All four family dogs have liked it, in its appropriate order, ahem. Good luck!

Hey NaturVet, add more broccoli to this product and maybe it’ll work.

Two stars instead of one because my dogs at least like this as a treat.

As they’ve only just had their 1st treats but we’ll worth a try. I have a 2nd resue dog who was like a hat rack when I got her before Xmas. She’s filled out lovely but still dives on anything vaguely edible including my other dog shadows poop. She will actually snatch it from mid air while he’s doing it. Yuck. Hoping these will prove an effective deterrent. They were bought on recommendation by someone else who’s tried them. Time will tell. But came v quickly and well packaged. Thanks.

I gave my dog one treat so far mid afternoon right after I received the package. This morning (day after said treat) she threw up a solid 2” piece of stool she must have eaten not long before. I love my dog but this was the worst thing I’ve witnessed with a dog. I hope this was a lesson for her and deters the behavior. However, it did not deter me from having an upset stomach. Product is effective. On a side note, wasn’t happy with packaging. Lid popped off with plastic torn. Treats inside bouncing around. If that is Amazons new packing system, it didn’t work well.
