How do you get a dog to stop eating out of the cat box

We have never had a dog that ate poo, but I know other people that have had this problem. From what I understand, there can be several reasons for this including improper diet, not getting enough to eat, parasitic infections, and vitamin deficiency. They eat the poo to get the nutrients out of it that they (or the animal that left the feces) was not able to absorb. The easiest thing to start with is a change in diet. If you are buying the ultra-cheap dog food, then try changing to one that is a little bit more expensive and addresses the health and nutritional needs of your dogs. I know that Iams is a good brand, but there are others out there if you do some research. If this does not help the situation, then I would check with your vet and see what he or she suggests, especially since the vet might want to do some tests to make sure that your dogs do not have worms or other health issues that they can pass not only to each other but also to your cats.

Hello Christine. We have two cocker spanials that used to get into the cat litter too. They would do as you said your og does. I just put a block in front of the opening for the cats so the dogs can't get to the litter. We keep the litter box next to the dryer. I have it at an angle to the dryer and the wall. The opening is set up so that it is a t an angle making a triangle between the wall and the dryer. Then the new or fresh big litter container is set next to the dryer so the dogs can' get through but the cats can get up and over the litter container. The strange things doges will eat. One of the spaniels would eat the girls pony tail holders then puke them up. now that is gross.

I had a dog many years ago and I had two cats then too and the same problem As we lived in a place with its own garden then my dog also loved taking the best ones outside and burying them.. for later maybe?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I have never heard of dogs doing that, seriously is there a vet in town that might know the answer to that one???

To dogs cat poop is like choclate to us. I can't remember the exact name of the product but there is a supplement you can give to the cat to make the poop undesirable to the dog. If you go to your local pet store Im sure they can help you.
