Ascopet: a nutritional solution against coprophagy

A supplement to help manage coprophagy in dogs and cats

Ascopet 200 g from the laboratory BIOVÉ INOVET is a complementary feed intended to help limit coprophagy in dogs and cats. Coprophagy refers to the voluntary ingestion of stools, whether the animal's own or those of another animal.

This behaviour can be a source of discomfort for the owner and pose a health risk. Coprophagy can expose the animal to digestive pathogens and promote parasitic transmission.

Ascopet comes in the form of an oral powder to be mixed with the daily feed.

A formula based on marine algae

Ascopet contains Ascophyllum nodosum, a marine algae used in animal nutrition. Its incorporation into the ration helps to modify the organoleptic characteristics of the stools, which may reduce the animal's interest in them.

Managing coprophagy relies on a comprehensive approach. It includes an appropriate diet, rigorous environmental hygiene and behavioural monitoring.

The 200 g format allows for regular use adapted to the animal's weight.

Frequently asked questions about coprophagy

Is it serious if my dog eats cat droppings?

Coprophagy can expose dogs to intestinal parasites and digestive pathogens. Cat stools may contain worm eggs or other micro-organisms.

It is recommended to limit access to the litter box and to implement appropriate measures to reduce this behaviour.

How can coprophagy in dogs be treated?

Managing coprophagy relies on several approaches: dietary adjustment, improved environmental hygiene and specific supplementation. Products such as Ascopet can be incorporated into this strategy.

Veterinary advice is recommended if the behaviour persists or is accompanied by digestive disorders.

What are the risks of coprophagy in dogs?

The main risks of coprophagy are parasitic transmission, digestive disorders and ingestion of pathogens. This behaviour may also reveal a dietary or behavioural imbalance.

Appropriate management helps limit these risks.

How can I prevent my dog from getting into my cat's litter box?

It is advisable to place the litter box in a space inaccessible to the dog or at height. Increased supervision and regular cleaning also reduce its appeal.

A nutritional approach aimed at limiting coprophagy can complement these measures.
