Coprophagia is a condition whereby puppies and dogs consume their stool. It is a common habit in some dogs which can be distressing for the pet owner and unhygienic for the pet. These tablets have been specially formulated to help deter this behaviour by making the stool unpalatable to eat. They contain oleoresin capsicum, a lachrymatory agent, which deters the 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 digestive performance. Please note, it will not deter dogs from eating other dogs stool.
