How to Prevent Dogs From Eating Cat Litter & Feces
- 1). Clean the cat's litter box frequently. As soon as you notice feces in the box, remove it.
- 2). Prevent the dog from getting into the cat's litter box. Some litter boxes have an entrance door or a lid that keeps dogs out. Other boxes have very high sides that a small dog can't get its head over.
- 3). Move the litter box to an area the dog can't access. A baby gate will keep most dogs out, but a cat can easily jump over the gate. Consider keeping the litter box in a room behind a closed door that has a pet door sized for cats.
- 4). Switch the cat to an automatic litter box. These boxes are more expensive and can be tricky to set up, but they either flush the poop or dump it into a sealed container the dog can't access.
