What Is Coprophagia In Dogs?
Sometimes our dogs do weird and unpleasant things, with coprophagia being one of the worst. Also known as stool eating, this unsavoury behaviour is when a dog eats their own or another animal’s stool. Whilst for humans this isn’t something we’d think about, coprophagy is actually quite common in dogs and can happen for a number of reasons. One of the main causes is natural instincts; dogs have a curiosity about the world and one way they explore new things is to, unfortunately, put them in their mouths. Coprophagia can also occur due to stress and digestive issues, meaning if they’ve picked up the habit, it’s always important to find out where it stems from.
How To Manage Coprophagia
If you’re wondering how to stop your dog from eating poop, there are thankfully some options. Firstly, you can try addressing the issue that has caused it, be that curiosity, bad behaviour or a medical issue. After that, you can try managing their environment so they can avoid this behaviour through keeping your garden stool-free and cleaning up after them. Another option to try is to train them to change the behaviour, with treats and coprophagia-aimed products being extremely useful. Our easy to take tablets are a convenient and all-natural way to discourage your pooch from this nasty habit!
Key Ingredients

Yucca Schidigera
Native to hot parts of the Americas and the Caribbean, Yucca is widely used for pets to help with certain smells. This is because the plant is said to make the odour of their stool become unappealing to discourage them from going near it, with a study suggesting Yucca has also been known to help manage flatulence in dogs.

Parsley Leaf
This vibrant herb is often overlooked as just a garnish, but it can actually be great for your dog. Parsley acts as a breath freshener, perfect when looking to avoid coprophagia. In addition, it’s also rich in vitamins, minerals, protein and fibre that are ideal for normal digestion.

Chamomile
This daisy-like flower is well known for its soothing properties in humans, but it’s also amazing for your dog! Thanks to its soothing properties, Chamomile can help to calm your dog’s stomach. Poor digestion is one of the causes of coprophagia, so it’s important to keep this functioning as normal.
