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

In the last several months Amazon has been taking photos of packages that were delivered I used to have a lot of packages delivered to the wrong address but then they started taking photos which helps tremendously, but today no photo. I have to use this product along with a different product to stop my dogs from eating their poop. One product doesn’t help but if I use two different ones then it’s bingo

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.

To be fair, they state it won't work if it's a behavioral issue. We got zero results. Pros: Our dog had no side effects & ate For-Bid twice a day for 2 weeks. Cons: Cost. Pouches are foil-lined paper so you have to fold the top & reuse them several times for a small dog.

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.

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!

Adapted a Galgo last year and she has a penchant for our other dogs poop. Hot or cold, she loves eating poop. The powder was easy to use for our two dogs and we used both boxes over a two week period. Didn’t work at all. This is the second thing we’ve tried, both over $40 that did not work. Based on that, I’d say don’t waste your money.

I’ve been using this for about 3-4 months, and it’s the only product that actually worked after trying so many others that didn’t help. I had seen this product before but was hesitant to try it. It wasn’t until my vet specifically recommended it that I finally gave it a chance, and I’m glad I did. It took a few days — maybe about a week — before I saw results, but once it kicked in, it made a noticeable difference. In the beginning, I tried stopping it to see if the habit was gone, and my dog went right back to eating her poop. As soon as I started the product again, she stopped. I’ve now been able to discontinue it completely, and she hasn’t gone back to the behavior. I still keep some on hand just in case, but so far, so good. I didn’t have any issues getting her to eat it. I just mixed it with her kibble, and she ate it without a problem. Overall, this worked exactly the way I needed it to. It took a little time to see results, but it did the job when everything else failed. I’d recommend trying it if you’re dealing with the same issue.

Excellent product! Stopped our pup from eating his own frozen dog poop in our yard during the winter. Only needed to use it about 4 times and he stopped doing that nasty stuff.

GOOD

Excellent. Worked like magic

Very expensive mistake. Hasn’t stopped my dog from eating her poo.

This product caused extreme vomiting in all 5 of my dogs. I put them on it simply due to one grabbing the odd frozen poopsicle and being that I have 5, I had to buy enough for them all. 5 were vomiting for the duration of treatment. When I thought it was maybe coincidental, I gave them a 1 week break and restarted. Boom again vomiting for 2 days. Immediately stopped it.
