PetNC Natural Care Coprophagia Stool Eating Deterrent Chews for Dogs, 60 Count

What is coprophagia and why does it occur?

Discover Petnc Natural Care — Coprophagia, or the ingestion of feces, is a relatively common behavior in dogs that can worry many owners. Although the exact causes are not always clear, factors such as boredom, stress, lack of certain nutrients in the diet, or simply habit are believed to play a role. Some dogs do it instinctively, especially mothers who clean up after their puppies. While it is not usually dangerous, it can be unpleasant and expose your pet to parasites or bacteria. For this reason, many owners look for safe and effective solutions.

How do these deterrent chews work?

PetNC Natural Care chews are formulated with selected ingredients to make feces taste unpleasant to the dog. When ingested as part of the daily diet, the components are metabolized and excreted, imparting a bitter or spicy taste to the stool. In this way, the dog associates the smell and taste of its feces with something negative and tends to avoid them. It is important to note that this is not a medicine, but a food supplement that can help modify this unwanted behavior.

It is important to remember that each dog is unique. While some respond quickly, others may need more time or a combination with other behavioral strategies.

How to administer the chews

For best results, administer the chew once a day, preferably at the same time. You can give it directly as a treat or break it into small pieces and mix it with their usual food. Make sure your dog chews it well to facilitate digestion. If your dog has difficulty chewing, you can moisten it slightly to soften it. Observe your pet during the next few days to verify that they tolerate it well.

Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose is one chew for every 10 kg of the dog's body weight. For dogs weighing less than 5 kg, half a chew is recommended. Do not exceed the indicated dose. Consult your veterinarian to adjust the amount according to your pet's specific needs, especially if they have underlying health problems or are taking other medications.
