Will my dog be unable to get in and eat poop?

I don't think your dog should be able to get in this one. We don't have a dog in the house but do outside. I love this dome for my cat though. It is fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone.

I would suppose it would depend on how aggressive your dog is in getting access to the box. Your dog wouldn't be able to access it through the opening as the "stairs" go up and around; however, he/she could stick his nose in and try to dislodge the top of the box. The bottom of the box has a narrow edge that fits into a channel in the top. One of my male cats is quite large and hasn't been able to dislodge it going in and out of the box. My dog would stick her head in the other box litter box we had before the Booda Dome, but she seems to leave both Booda Domes along. I can't promise your dog won't find a way in, but the Booda Dome definitely makes it more difficult. Hope this helps!

Sadly no, but the "staircase" is the best deterrent I've found in a litter box w/o making it too much of a challenge for the cats to care to overcome. I agree with folks who've said the answer is in the placement of the box. Paired with a scooper w/ rounded edges, this is the best box imaginable. We call ours the "spa"!

Hmmmm, depends on how hungry he is and how big he/she is. If he will fit in the hole there would be nothing stopping him/her. My cat weighs about 13 lbs. and is rather tall, so if he fits and he's determined, absolutely he could.

No, unless you have a dog the size of a cat or smaller. Hopefully the dog isn't smart enough or strong enough to pry off the lid...The cat will love it and so will you!

I don't think so, unless he is really small and can fit. Or if he's big enough to knock the lid off.

My boston terrier can't or hasn't. This was a huge issue at my house and hasn't happen since I've had the Booda. The dog would literally have to knock the top off to get to the poop. My 18 pounder can't manage this.

If you have a normal dog, you should have no problem. If you have a small poo eating dog, then it will easily fit inside. If you have a very large dog with a cat poo addiction, he will find a way, but it STILL is the best litter box on the planet!!!

I have a pom and she uses it 2-3 times before we change it. Strangely she won't poop on it, she poops on a rug nearby and we pick it up with a tissue. TG she has firm stool. lol

Hi KatDog, Not necessarily. It depends on your dog. My dog wasn't able to access the cat food before (I feed the cats on an elevated platform), but now if she's hungry (or even more if she's bored) she will now occasionally use her nose to push the egg around until some food falls out. She doesn't do it often, maybe because I have it dialed down to the smallest settings, so the cats have to really work to get food. BTW, its working, the chubby cat is gradually dropping weight. :)

It made no difference in my one of my dogs who have that unfortunate habit.There are many things you can try such as small amounts of pineapple or natural canned pumpkin (no sugar or additives). You may also want to take your dog to the vet as coprophagia can be a symptom of something bigger. However, this product did help my dachshund with her IBS.

No. If the dog is healthy, the feces will be firm enough to pick up with a tissue and discard in toilet. If loose, all you need do is wipe the top grate then lift the grate and wipe under.

Hello Kris, there is the sensor eye area in the front so if the sensor detects an object about 4 inches from it, the lid will open. Thus, if you dog is tall enough to get inside then your dog will get into the garbage. There is a power switch on the back of the lid cover that you can turn off so your dog doesn't activate the sensor.

I have 3 dogs and they all loved it. Your dog could just be afraid of it. Try putting his favorite treat on it and leave it where he can get it by himself. It may take a while but the desire for the food should overcome his fear.

I gave it to my dog for about 2 months and she seemed to be a little better but now I am not giving it her she has reverted back to eating poop. It seems to be a habit that is hard to break the vet told me to put meat tenderizer in her meals but I don't think that worked either. Someone told me not to pick up and put hot chili sauce on it and when they go to eat it it taste bad and that sometimes helps. We pick up all the time but if there is one lot out there she finds it, we tell her off but she still does it. I am told it is a natural thing but I have never had a dog that did it before, so very frustrating. Sorry I haven't been much help but that's my experience.

Absolutely. My dog is a female and she lifts her legs while in the chair, the same as she would on the ground. She can also poop with no problems. This chair has been great!!

You might be able to fit a tiny amount of food, but the zipper is pretty tight when you zip it up empty. I would say you would want to wait so your pup can get a full serving.

Probably not. The only thing I've ever found that helps with this is to feed Pumpkin. There is a handy dehydrated pumpkin which you can mix a couple tablespoons with water at a time and feed. My dogs won't eat it on its own, so I mix it in with food. Great for loose stools or any digestive upset, but it does help prevent them from dining on their own "presents".

If your dog is eating it's own poop, add some pineapple to your dog's diet. The pineapple makes the poop disgusting to eat (not that it already shouldn't be. lol) Also, be sure to pick up the poop in your yard and/or be sure the dog isn't bored. :)

I drop the capsule in with the dog food and she eats it. If she did not, I would take apart the capsule and sprinkle it over the food. Or you could cut open the capsule if you can't get it apart and sprinkle it over food. I also give my dog pills, I give one in a handfull of dogfood and hand feed it to her as a snack. And poof, it is gone. Good luck.

Probably not, it would spill out of the holes. I put food in a few times a day that makes it harder for him to reach the food.

Your dog might have a hard time getting open since I do. It is plastic though and she might be able to crack it and get into the vitamins.

That should not be a problem for your puppy! We have friends who are also getting this for their Jack Russell Terrier since they have seen how it works. We have owned both a Dachsund and a Beagle and they should be able to handle the dish...it's kind of fun to watch them eat and manage it!

Depends how big. I don't think that it can get inside because there's a turn that he has to put his paws inside Ps. BTW I smeared a little peanut butter inside
