So there are two issues at play here, the cause of my labs feces eating, and then the removal of that cause and the addition of these as a solution to break the habit. He has a lot of issues with tummy problems, and because he has such intense digestive issues, I have gone to Great lengths to seek out probiotics that he can use that will help him with that. I had him on a probiotic that I got through Amazon Vine that was goat milk based? And he seemed to enjoy it, but unfortunately he started developing side effects, namely, The habit to consume his own poo. This is a gross habit, but beyond that it's an issue because it indicates a dietary malnourishment or dysfunction. His food had not changed other than the probiotic I was giving him, so I took him off of that probiotic, and I got these and started feeding them to him and between those two things, he seems to have stopped. Also his toots are no longer so atrociously smelly they could clear a room.So I think this has helped to reduce the effects that the I will go ahead and say bad probiotics had on him however, I also took him off of the probiotics fairly immediately once I realized they were likely the cause.So how much of it can truly be attributed to this particular supplement and how much of it can be attributed to removing the worst of the cause is very difficult for me to say. Ideally I would have created more space between removing him from those probiotics and putting him on this supplement so that I could assess what was baseline, however every day that he spent eating his poo was one day too many, it meant constantly watching him, constantly brushing his teeth, and continually hoping he didn't get sick. So I did both at basically the same time, which is not the best way to assess the medical value of something, but he stopped eating his poo only about 3 days after I took him off the bad probiotics, and it was about 2 days into that time that I started him on these, and then it was about another week before it seemed to be completely cleared out of his system and his toots were no longer noxious as well as the who eating habit going away. So I definitely think these have had an effect, maybe not as strong of an effect as would be ideal, but they definitely seem to have one. He's not particularly wild about the flavor which I think says something pretty strong because he's a labrador who will eat virtually anything? But it isn't necessarily completely damning of the product for him to not love the flavor. It has a bittering agent in it that is meant to affect their poo to discourage the eating of it, and he does still eat them, just not with very much gusto. I'll take it as a win
