The best way to stop Woody from eating his feces to to pick them up as soon as possible. There is also a product called Forbid (availablew from veterinarians), which you sprinkle on his food, that will stop him temporarily, but as soon as you stop giving it to him your problem will come back. As for the bed, if he is chewing it, simply take it away. He does not need a bed to sleep on, especially as he's chosen to use it as a chew toy instead.
