I've heard that it's very effective, just add a little piece to his food, and start with 1/4 of a chunk so that there will be no bad reaction, gradually increase the amount. Some people say with a full-grown dog they've had to use 2 chunks with each meal. I also suggest you free feed with a puppy that age, so that they won't be tempted to eat their poop. You don't have to worry about them eating too much until they are around 8 months, and if you use kibble most dogs will never over eat. Reasons for eating poop are undigested protein in the poop, and the dog smell the protein, and this smells good to him. The pineapple helps to digest the protein, so the poop will no longer smell nutritious to the dog.
