Coprophagia is a behavioral condition with puppies and dogs consuming their own feces. It is a common habit in some dogs which can be distressing for the pet owner and unhygienic for the pet. Mark & Chappell Stool Repel-UM Tablets have been specially formulated to help deter this behavior. When the active ingredients are ingested by the animal they become activated in the small intestine and may help to produce a stool which is unpalatable to the animal.
- Helps eliminate stool eating by pets
- Suitable for dogs & puppies aged 6 months and over
- Palatable chicken liver flavor
| Active Ingredients | Major Function |
| Oleoresin Capsicum | Oleoresin Capsicum is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears). The active chemical called capsaicin causes a burning sensation and inflammation of the mucous membranes. This is the active ingredient that helps to repel the animal from eating its own fecal waste. |
| Alpha-Amylase | This is an enzyme that breaks down the carbohydrates, improving the animal’s digestive performance. This should make the animals' waste matter less attractive to eat. |
| Target | Dogs that are prone to consuming their own feces. |
