For-Bid Stool Eating Deterrent for Dogs & Cats – Vet-Recommended Coprophagia Deterrent for Dogs for 50+ Years – Effective, Pet Safe, Helps Reduce Odors & Won't Alter Food Taste – Made in The USA

I was beyond disgusted when my cute little guy started displaying interest in his own poo. In a matter of days he went from mild interest to scrambling to eat his poo while I was trying to pick it up. No matter how ready and quick I was, he was more determined. I ordered For-bid because my friend who used to work at a vet clinic suggested it..Day 1: my pup wasn’t really interested in his morning kibble with this sprinkled in. I was worried he wouldn’t eat at all, but by evening he ate just fine. Obviously there was no difference in his desperation to eat his poo.Days 2 & 3: he still loved eating his poo and I was starting to wonder if the product would work for us.Day 4: he hesitated in eating his poo just long enough for me to pick it up.Day 5 & ever since: he has no interest in his poo at all. The difference was night and day. Even if he goes off leash he happily trots away from it.I haven’t had to use this product at all since day 5 (about a week and a half ago), but the effects are still there. He does not eat or smell or display any interest in his poo. I am so impressed with the effectiveness and because the powder comes in individual packets, I know I can use it in the future if I need to without wondering whether it will still be any good.

Doesn’t work, and side effects. Might have helped a little but definitely did not eliminate the problem. We have 2 dogs, one has become a poop eater. His own and his brothers. They’re both about the same size and getting the same dose. The non poop eater now has outrageously toxic room- clearing gas. It would be one thing if we were trading one evil for ano But no, now we just have two dogs you don’t want to get too close to. It’s sad. There must be a better solution.

For-Bid for puppy or adult dog stool eating. I tried this on my dog. It is easy to apply in easy to use measured packets and the taste was not offensive to my dog, all things considered! It was ineffective fr my dog in the month I used it. Don't know if it takes longer to work systemically on them, bt on vets advice I switched her diet for more nutrition in her diet and immediate pick up at every bowel movement outdoors and she seems to have outgrown this habit as she gets older.

Finally something that worked for my lil poop eater! I tried other coprophagia tips and tricks including pineapple, and she just kept on lapping up the brown gold like it was the best thing she'd ever eaten in her life. Having my super cute puppy with her perfect lil white chin covered in dookie was gag inducing and puppy kisses were out of the question. I was so good at picking up her stinky presents as soon as possible, but the second I wasn't fast enough, down the hatch they went. Her veterinarian finally said, "I haven't heard a lot of effectiveness with ForBid, but you could give it a try." I wasn't expecting any good to come of it, but it worked!!! She doesn't have any issue with me mixing it into her food and since the 2nd day I started giving it to her, has stopped devouring her poops!! For the first couple of days she would look at her turds with longing, but didn't so much as sniff it. Now she drops a load and simply walks away. I couldn't be happier and will continue giving it to her for life if I have to. I give her 1/2 a tsp. twice a day and my only gripe is that I wish it came in a month sized jar, but that's a preference on my part, not a knock on the product.

I went through both boxes of this product in an attempt to get my golden retriever from eating his (and his brother's) poop in the back yard. This product certainly had an effect; my dog went from happily munching on poop to still eating the poop, but now he had a sad, sour, and slightly annoyed face while eating poop. By the end of the second box of powder, my dog had apparently gotten used to the new taste... it didn't slow him down at all. So it didn't work for me. I ended up buying capsaicin spray and spraying all of the piles of poop in the yard to stop him. Even still, when he finds a pile that's fresh, he'll go to town on it. Gross.Good luck to you all!

Didn't work for my dogs!

It works! My 1 year old mini shitzu is a poop eater and after one dose of this product, she tried a taste of one or two poops but dropped them after one bite. After the second dose I haven’t seen any poop eating at all! Both my dogs are getting dosed with each meal and neither seems to even notice the powder in their food, and my other dog is excessively picky. My dogs are 5 and 7 pounds so they get 1/4 tsp twice a day. I typically never write reviews but I’m so thrilled I had to share the good news.

So, I think that I can safely assume that this product does indeed make the poop taste terrible. However, it really backfires because, as I sort of suspected would be the case, it also makes the food taste terrible. So, it just teaches the dog to choke down the product in order to eat their dinner, which would only accustom them to the taste and I don't see how it could be an effective deterrent overall.I think that it could work quite well if the dog is eating poop later, but in my case, I pick up all poops immediately. My dog was pooping, turning around and immediately eating it before I could get it scooped up and thrown away in the trash (or flushed down the toilet). But if your situation is different from mine, and you can sprinkle this product on poop to prevent the dog from eating it later on (in which case it seems easier to just pick up the poop anyway), then this could be an effective deterrent. But apart from putting it into capsules and feeding it to the dog that way, I don't see how feeding it to the dog orally would deter them from eating poop later with the product in it. I actually did consider getting some empty capsules and doing just that, because I do think that could work quite well. She really was obviously choking down her food with the product sprinkled on it as directed, so the taste is obviously quite awful. But teaching them to tolerate that taste seems counterproductive. And sort of mean.
