This really works!
My puppy had a bad habit of eating poop out of the litter box but after using this, that behavior was gone! For the amount of packets that came with it, it was a good price. It was odorless and tasteless which made it so easy to give to both my cat and dog.

Useless
After reading several reviews, I was hopeful this product would work ok at least 1 of my 2 dogs. Following the directions exactly as written on the box, it was useless for my two. I also found the powder fell to the bottom of their dish and immediately caked and hardened one it came in contact with the slightest bit of dog drool. I was having to scrape the powder off and find ways to get it into their system. For those two reasons alone I would not recommend this powder. If anything, they should make it in capsule form.

Appears to have no effect (but Alpar Laboratories gave refund!)
I have a Golden who after 5 years starting eating you know what, and around the same time another Golden starting doing the same. I used sixes boxes of For-Bid with no apparent effect. Maybe it works for some dogs, but in my case it was a complete waste of money.Update: After leaving my review, Alpar Laboratories contacted me to offer me a refund on one of my orders. I accepted and they quickly processed the refund. While For-Bid did not work for me, Alpar's offer was a stand-up thing to do. I am changing my rating from 1 to 3 stars because this indicates that if it does not work, Alpar will refund your purchase. Thanks Alpar!

Doesn't work on all dogs
I went through both boxes of this product in an attempt to get my golden retriever from eating his (and his brother's) poop in the back yard. This product certainly had an effect; my dog went from happily munching on poop to still eating the poop, but now he had a sad, sour, and slightly annoyed face while eating poop. By the end of the second box of powder, my dog had apparently gotten used to the new taste... it didn't slow him down at all. So it didn't work for me. I ended up buying capsaicin spray and spraying all of the piles of poop in the yard to stop him. Even still, when he finds a pile that's fresh, he'll go to town on it. Gross.Good luck to you all!

Stops the gross poop eating habit.
Our vet recommended this product for our new puppy.Success!!!We bought one box and are using as directed. Took 2 days but no poop interest after that.We will most likely purchase one more box, just to seal the deal but probably not necessary.

Didn’t work for mine.
Smells so I’m sure in theory it should work HOWEVER, it didn’t work for my dog. It works for her first poop of the day. But she still eats some of her poops the rest of the day. I have a 1yo female frenchie. Vet said some dogs just wanna eat their poop. She gets a multi vitamin powder with breakfast, daily, so it’s not a nutritional deficiency & she doesn’t have worms.

I suppose it works as stated, but...
So, I think that I can safely assume that this product does indeed make the poop taste terrible. However, it really backfires because, as I sort of suspected would be the case, it also makes the food taste terrible. So, it just teaches the dog to choke down the product in order to eat their dinner, which would only accustom them to the taste and I don't see how it could be an effective deterrent overall.I think that it could work quite well if the dog is eating poop later, but in my case, I pick up all poops immediately. My dog was pooping, turning around and immediately eating it before I could get it scooped up and thrown away in the trash (or flushed down the toilet). But if your situation is different from mine, and you can sprinkle this product on poop to prevent the dog from eating it later on (in which case it seems easier to just pick up the poop anyway), then this could be an effective deterrent. But apart from putting it into capsules and feeding it to the dog that way, I don't see how feeding it to the dog orally would deter them from eating poop later with the product in it. I actually did consider getting some empty capsules and doing just that, because I do think that could work quite well. She really was obviously choking down her food with the product sprinkled on it as directed, so the taste is obviously quite awful. But teaching them to tolerate that taste seems counterproductive. And sort of mean.
