Dog-proof or not? Does the Booda Dome keep your dog out of the litterbox?

Yea, not so much. My dog just puts her head in the hole and flips the entire top off. I drilled through the plastic and crated latches (that are a pain for ME to use when cleaning the litter box),and my dog broke the top while trying to shove her entire body into the little cat hole. the only solution I have found is to make a custom wooden box with a maze entrance (which one of my cats hated), and to have a litterbox in a dog-proofed area of the house.

The critters COULD knock it over if they tried, which they haven't. The dogs could even jump over it easily, but it hasn't occurred to them yet, either. The gate is going across a big double-door to my second bedroom, preventing the dogs from raiding the cat litter box (disgusting creatures that they are). Just to make sure, I sandwiched one side of the gate between the wall and a heavy object, in this case the bucket with the litter. On the other side, I just folded out the extra leg a bit to give it stability. Have had the gate for about 2 months now, no problem. The cats hop right over it.

Absolutely not. It is totally waterproof with some raised edges and it even has a double mat. I'm not sure what that is for, but I am very happy with mine.I was just putting the litter box on a wee wee pad. This is saving me a lot of work. To clean it, you can just vacuum for litter, or if it is soiled spray it off outsidewith a hose or inside in the shower.

The lid just sits on the base it does lock on the base to a certain degree. (There is a channel on the lid which kind of interlocks on the rim of the base.) I know the dog has tried to lift it, and she has not been able to get it off. When I go to change or clean it out it take two hands to lift it off. Its pretty big I don't think your cats will have a problem...

Yes. I don't see a problem at all its pretty big. The cats curiosity sure helps too. I got this type litter box to keep my dogs out...Thanks for asking

Sometimes....Buy the side wall. It protects against that. The dome maybe Too, but my cats found it too confining I think. The side wall raises the edge about 3-4 inches and keeps that from happening.

Yes, a dog can activate the trashcan, mine has but luckily he was afraid of it and hasn't gone back to it!

I have two large dogs, one being a lab and they both enjoy being outside around people in the pen and have had no problems with it. I do use the anchors so it is secure. I have used mine for about 8 years with no problems. I have only left mine in the crate for a couple of hours then took them out for exercising. When it is hot I put a tarp over it for shade.

I put my box about 6-8 inches away from the wall with the opening facing the wall. Kitties never had trouble getting in and I don't think a golden retriever could wedge his way in there. That said, if you feel your dog could take the whole top off, it's not snapped on in any way, it kind of just "sets" into place, so it's possible. Great litter box, I would give it a shot. Most people just think it's a houseplant... Maybe your doggie will too!

I believe so! Honestly, we have a husky, they are known for their escapist skills. When she has the collar on, she stays still in the safe area and doesn't even approach the restricted one. She used to climb or dig under the fence just to get out. Since we bought this fence over a year ago, we have never had to worry about her getting out again. And she truly got shocked only once, that was enough for her to remember what comes after the beep. Good luck!

I have one for my dogs. I don't see why it wouldn't also work for a litter box

Probably not puppy proof if you have a chewer. It has plastic covered mesh for doors and windows. We got it for our 85 lb. huskita and she has not ever chewed on it but she is pretty mellow and 4 yrs. old. I love this kennel.

I have a 20 lb. chihuahua/terrier mix who was a regular feeder at the litter box trough, so I raised the litter box. We recently moved to a place where there was no room to have a raised box, so I bought the Booda Dome CleanStep and spent 3 weeks before we moved getting the cat accustomed to it. I am happy to report that the dog never goes near it. I believe he's afraid to put his head inside the opening.

No problems so far, but we have small dogs. I knew a lab that ate through a screen door... So this might not prove much of a challenge. It's a great way to tote the pooches around, otherwise.

No. This is a portable, simple, folding barrier. It is excellent for our purpose, to keep dog in our bedroom at night - would also serve to keep him out.

Yes, it's pretty cat-proof. I had that problem with our old tank - had to tape the top on to keep the cats out. They've never been able to get into this one.

The only way they can escape is if they chew through the netting or the material. I use mine every day. I carry a Shih Tzu and a Papillion in it. I am very happy with it. Do not remember what the box looked like sorry
