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.
Brewers yeast, Alpha-anylase, Oleoresin capsicum.

Was dubious , but I think it seems to be working. Although have to add to other dogs food too. Only downside is trying to break the tablets in half.

Has had a massive effect on my puppies poo eating , still another couple of weeks to finish the course of pills very pleased that they have had the desired effect. One reservation is that she has been drinking a lot more water and consequently peeing a whole lot more! Has anyone else noticed this?

Not 100% success but massive improvement since using, very pleased.

Firstly this only helps with the prevention of eating their own stools. If you have more than 1 dog each would need to take these to prevent eating other dogs stools. I'm not sure if they worked completely but may have reduced the desire. Took a long time to be delivered, think it was out of stock but I wasn't notified that this was the case.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding VetIQ Stool Repel (Coprophagia Aid for Dogs), including answers from our team.
Patrick
Our puppy eats the stools left by our four cats in our garden. Is it safe to give Stool Repel to the cats to deter the puppy? I can't see any warnings on the box.
Unfortunately
the product is targeted at dogs as it is more difficult to get cats to
eat this type of product and the ingredients that it contains as
they are very fussy eaters. It would be difficult to get the level of
active ingredients into the cats diet to deter the dog from eating the
faeces. Therefore it is only advised to use this product in dogs.

Can Stool Repel be used in felines or is there another product or solution?
I am not clear if you want to stop your dog from eating your cat's faeces, or you want to stop the cat from eating its own faeces. Either way the product would have to be given to your cat in its food. The product is unlikely to be harmful to your cat, but is not normally given to cats and I have no experience of this being done. Personally I cannot recommend it, but you could try. Cats are so fussy it might not be possible anyway.
On a general note, many dogs love to eat cat faeces and although it seems to do them no harm at all, it is pretty disgusting to us. Usually the only option is to organise things in such a way that the dog does not have free access to the cat's toileting area. Cats very rarely eat their own faeces and if this is happening, I think your cat should be checked out by a vet for a digestive problem (such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency). This is not normal behaviour for a healthy cat.

Hi
Is stool repel safe to use with blooming
Pets probiotics for cats & dogs as I am currently using this product to ensure firm stools but pup will eat own /other poo if not stopped
These products are safe to use together and should work just the same regardless.
