Dog eating cat Litter/poop

We have a cat and a dog; I purchased a Mega Advanced LitterMaid Automatic Litter Box from DrsFosterSmith.com. It deposits waste in a disposable container you remove, empty and rinse. Basically the sensor senses waste deposits and rakes them away. Problem solved, the cat box is always clean, the puppy can't get to the poop. Litter box can sit anywhere and it can be used with an electrical outlet or batteries!

dog eating cat litter - suggestion

How about building a nicelooking wooden "box" (open in the top, too high sides for the dogs to jump) - or a wooden box with a lid, if the cat will accept that. Add a catflap to make access easy for the cat. (unless the dogs are so small that they can go through the catflap)
That way it looks nice in your home too, and there are less catlitter dragged onto the floor.
Good luck

dogs eating cat litter

I have 4 dogs and they love to eat cat litter, the only problem is we dont have a place to put it that is up and out of the way. If anyone has a suggestion i would be willing to read it.

dogs eating cat litter

Dear Frustrated with poop breath,

When I have dogs and cats living together, I put the cat box into a large card board box. Tall and wide enough so the dogs can't reach the litter But giving the cat enough space to move around the litter pan.

Good luck, Sandy
