What Are Dog Proof Litter Boxes

Dog proof litter boxes are, as you may have guessed, litter boxes that are specifically built to keep dogs out. Whenever a dog gets into a cat’s litter box it is never a good thing. As a matter of fact, it can get down right messy. Keeping your dog out of the litter box will keep your cat’s private place safe and sound, as well as, stop Fido from making a mess of that part of your home.

The most common design for these types of litter boxes is a litter box where the entrance is on the top, or lid. This means that your cat needs to climb in through the top of their litter box. This is easily accomplished by a cat but makes it much harder for a dog to go sniffing around and almost impossible for them to get inside. By placing the entrance to the litter box on top you are keeping it out of your dog’s site and you know what they say, out of site out of mind. Dog proof litterĀ  boxes are a simple solution to a very annoying problem that many owners of multiple pets go through.

This type of litter box is perfect for families with larger dogs. Your cat will be able to enter and leave at their convenience, while your dog will not be able to enter.

Amazon.com offers some great dog proof litter boxes for cats. The reason why I suggest searching Amazon for these particular types of litter boxes is that, even though this is a very common problem for many pet owners, they are a bit hard to find. If you can’t find exactly what you are looking for on Amazon you can try searching Google.com’s shopping site Froogle.com for some great deals on dog proof litter boxes. Between these two sites you are sure to find a litter box that is perfect for you and your pet’s needs.

Using a dog proof litter box is a perfect solution for nessy, over curious dogs. You will be able to keep your cat’s litter box out in the open and keep your dog out. These types of litter boxes are faily priced and won’t spend much more money then you would have on a traditional cat litter box.

    I learned about your blog and visited it for the first time now. It’s good. I have 4 cats nowadays (and they have own dog lol), it’s kind of a menagerie at my property. But there is never a boring minute, that’s for certain. My preferred breed of cat is the Siamese, though actually I haven’t met a cat yet that I didn’t like, no matter of its breed

    I think this is a great idea. My dog is always making a mess of my cat’s litter box. Are these much more expensive than a common, run of the mill litter box?

    Dog proof litter boxes only work if you have a small and very stupid dog. I tried one of these out and my dog didn’t only get into it but he knocked it down trying to get inside. It was an even bigger mess than when I had a regular litter box…

    I recently purchased a dog proof litter box? It seems to be working very well although I wouldn’t recommend it for older cats since it could be hard for them to climb up on top of the box each time they have to go…
