Why Does My Yorkie Keep Playing With Cat Litter & Keep Eating it? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

He doesn't eat the poop, but plays in the litter box just like its a sand box, and periodically eats the litter.

The litter I use is called "scoop away multi cat scented." I guess training him to use the litter box isn't going to work. I like the litter box method better than puppy pads, because they don't give off a smell like puppy pads do. He hasn't used the litter box yet to go to the bathroom.

Bump! Lol, strange that he ignores the 'kitty kandy' and goes for the litter itself! I can't help, but I just wanted to bump this for ya.

Using cat litter for dogs usually don't work. . . You never know what dogs eat. Please take it away as soon as possible and keep an eye on him. That can make him sick or can cause a blockage.

They make a dog litter. It is pellets. It is made of paper . . Try sell it at Petco and I think PetSmart

I use Washable Pee Pads from T Bumpkins and they do not give off a smell. They can be washed frequently and always look brand new.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I can't try this method. I would need a million of these. My lil baby will go a couple of times on his pads and then he waits for me to change it. lol

Ok. Thank you. I will do that immediately.

The litter is what I was referring to when I said that stuff could make him sick or block his intestine.
