What the label doesn't say

There is no dosing schedule, tablet frequency or minimum weight printed on the information we hold, so this is one to dose from the pack insert rather than from anything written here. VETIQ are also clear the tablets work "in conjunction with" training, not instead of it.

Why we chose it

Capsicum deterrents are the standard first thing to try with this problem, and this one folds in probiotics rather than relying on the bitter taste alone. It's a cheap thing to try before assuming the worst about a dog's diet. We sell it as a training aid, not a cure, because that is what VETIQ themselves say it is.

Specifications

Brand: Vetiq

Full description

A dog that eats its own mess isn't being naughty so much as efficient, and that is exactly why the habit is so hard to train out on willpower alone — the dog gets a reward for the behaviour every single time before you can intervene.

VETIQ's approach is to change what the reward tastes like rather than to punish the dog for going near it. The tablets are built around capsicum extract, a lachrymatory agent, which makes a freshly passed stool unpalatable and mildly irritating to eat. A probiotic is included to support gut flora and digestion, and a prebiotic is added to help the intestinal microflora that in turn supports the immune system.

30 tablets per pack
Capsicum extract as the active deterrent ingredient
Probiotics included to support gut flora and digestion
A prebiotic supports intestinal microflora and immune function
Designed to be used alongside a training regime
Listed as suitable for puppies as well as adult dogs

What the label doesn't say. There is no dosing schedule, tablet frequency or minimum weight printed on the information we hold, so this is one to dose from the pack insert rather than from anything written here. VETIQ are also clear the tablets work "in conjunction with" training, not instead of it.

Who it's for: owners actively working on a coprophagia habit in a dog or puppy, who want a deterrent to back up the training rather than a tablet that claims to fix it by itself.

Common questions

What does the capsicum extract actually do?

It's a lachrymatory agent that makes freshly passed stools unpalatable and mildly irritating to eat, discouraging the dog from going back to them.

Will it stop the habit on its own?

VETIQ designs it to be used alongside a training regime, not as a standalone fix — the tablets make the habit less rewarding while the training changes it.

Is it suitable for puppies?

Yes, it's listed for puppies as well as adult dogs.

How many tablets come in a pack?

30.

What do the probiotics and prebiotic do?

The probiotics support gut flora and digestion, and the prebiotic supports the intestinal microflora that helps the immune system.
