Vegetable protein additive powder - when added to food, it imparts a very forbidding taste to feces and thus is very effective at stopping pets from eating feces
How it works: Administer "For-Bid"™ by sprinkling on the animal's food as per instructions on the packet. If using dry food, it is recommended to moisten food with water before adding "For-Bid"™.
This food then goes through the gastrointestinal tract, and the breakdown product of "For-Bid"™ ends up in the feces. The animal is then sensitized to their feces. When the animal next attempts to eat this feces, the villa of the tongue react, and the animal discards it.
You should see a response after the first or second day.
Dosage: For large dogs, 20-100 lbs, sprinkle the contents of ½ packet on the dog food two times per day (morning and night), for 5-6 days. This will usually curb coprophagia for months, often permanently.
• For small dogs or puppies, 3-20 lbs, administer ¼ packet two times per day (morning and night), for 5 days.
• Cats should be fed ¼ packet, one time per day, for 4-5 days.
• For horses, 1½ packets, two times per day (morning and night), for 2-3 days typically deters this behavior.
- When a dog is eating other dog's stool, or those from a cat's litter box, we recommend treating both animals with "For-Bid"™ to curb this habit.
*If coprophagia recurs after the initial dosage; give 1 gram per day for 2-3 weeks as necessary.
