I always have to be ready to bathe her and - yes - I wash her mouth out with dog shampoo. It IS disgusting, and it CAN make them ill. Cat poo can be toxic to small dogs. And, no one seems to know why some of our furbabies love it, so.  I agree that the self-cleaning litter box should help a great deal - I think that's a grand idea for anyone with dogs who take a liking to cat poo. It should take a lot of daily stress from your life, and protect the pooch. |
OMG I have the same problem, my neighbor has like 10 cats who roam the neighborhood and my yard is their damn toilet. I almost lost my Tiffany last year because of eating the poop.
Now I have a cat whom I never let out, my dogs NEVER try and eat her poop, they dont have access to it in the laundry room but occasionaly one of them sneek in there when Im doing wash but never go near her litter box.
I had a thought and wonder if it is true. My cat is on a high quality diet (Innova) and its not loaded with junk like the crappy foods out there. I think my cat's body is using all the nutrients in the food where my neighbors cats, I can tell you for sure she isnt giving those cats a high quality food and the food is loaded with junk which her cat's bodys are not using all the ingredients in the food and its coming out in their poop (I hope im making sense). Therefor my dogs are smelling the junk in their poop and trying to eat it and my cat's poop has no leftover junk in her poop and they have no intrest in hers
