Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My dogs like these as treats, but this has no effect whatsoever on the poo-eating problem. My rescued dachshund Gillie has recently rebegun his illicit snacking habits which we assume he developed during his time living in desperate conditions on the streets. He was skin and bones when we got him, and he still has some anxiety and other behaviors learned as a stray, such as hoarding food, cramming multiple chews in his mouth and just carrying them everywhere, chugging water all at once instead of occasional refreshment, and marking eeeeverywhere. And eating poop. We thought we had broken him of the habit several years ago, but he’s started up again in the last few months. Vet checkup found no dietary reason, no nutritional deficiency, so it’s a behavioral thing, but we don’t know what’s changed to bring this back on. Previously, we were able to stop him by mixing cooked broccoli in with the dinners off all our dogs; while it tastes good going in, apparently they don’t like how it tastes from the other end. That, plus good nutrition, and showing him he could rely on us to feed him every day, and give him cookies and chews and toys and blankets and love, seemed to have been what broke his habit before. He’s still a squirrelly little guy, definitely with doggie-PTSD after goodness knows how he struggled when homeless and alone. But he’s settled a lot and definitely feels he’s part of the family. I really don’t know why he’s started up again. Broccoli was effective before but I thought this time I’d look for a more convenient alternative. Doh! This stuff doesn’t work. And we’ve also tried adding meat tenderizer to his food - the kind with no msg - but not only does it not stop coprophagia, it’s made him picky on the wrong end of the process! So we’re going to hope cooked broccoli works this time around, while we still investigate potential reasons for the behavior so we can possibly correct the problem for good. (Fingers crossed!) If this product failed for you and your dog, I recommend trying cooked broccoli, just about a 1 to 4 ratio with their food, wet or dry. All four family dogs have liked it, in its appropriate order, ahem. Good luck! Hey NaturVet, add more broccoli to this product and maybe it’ll work. Two stars instead of one because my dogs at least like this as a treat.
