VETIQ STOOL REPEL TABLETS

COPROPHAGIA REMEDY

Coprophagia is a condition whereby puppies and dogs consume their stools. It is a common habit in some dogs, which can be distressing for the pet owner and unhygienic for the pet. VETIQ Stool Repel tablets have been specially formulated to help deter this behaviour by making the dogs own stools unpalatable to eat, when used in conjunction with a training regime.

VETIQ Stool Repel contains Capsicum Extract, a lachrymatory agent, helps to deter a puppy or dog from eating its own stools by causing a mild irritation to the eyes and a mild burning sensation if the stool is eaten. The probiotics support stabilisation of the gut flora and digestion while the prebiotic helps stimulate the immune system by supporting growth of the intestinal microflora. VETIQ Stool Repel functions within the intestine by making your dog’s stool less tasty, therefore, it will not deter dogs from eating other dog’s stools.
