Taboo Coprophagia Deterrent Soft Chews for Dogs 40 Count
Supports Behavior Correction & Digestive Health
What is Taboo Coprophagia Deterrent for Dogs?
Taboo Coprophagia Deterrent Soft Chews for Dogs (40 Count) is a veterinary-formulated supplement crafted to help curb coprophagia—a behavioral condition where dogs consume feces. This condition can stem from nutrient deficiencies, boredom, or digestive imbalances.
Manufactured by VetOne and now available at HardyPaw, this product includes MSG, B-complex vitamins, and cellulose, which may help reduce the appeal of feces by altering taste and enhancing nutrient uptake. These soft chews are flavored for palatability and easily administered as a treat.
Perfect for both puppies and adult dogs, the chews work internally to rebalance digestion and reduce fecal consumption behavior over time.
What Are the Key Benefits of Taboo Coprophagia Deterrent Soft Chews?
Taboo Chews offer a multi-action solution to stop poop-eating in dogs by improving internal digestive function and altering stool palatability.
- Discourages stool eating by making feces taste unappealing
- Replenishes B-complex vitamins often lacking in dogs with coprophagia
- Enhances nutrient absorption with added cellulose and enzymes
- MSG may act as an oral aversion agent by influencing taste perception
- Vet-recommended formula designed specifically for canine use
- Convenient soft chew form — no pills, no powders, no mess
