My Cats and i have 5 use a top entry litter box, dog cant get to the poo. I made them from a 9 dollar storage container from walmart, but you can buy them on amazon or chewy.

Start by leaving the poo after you immediately spray it with Bitter Apple spray. Of course, clean it up if you can right away, but that’s not always possible. They will soon come to associate the poop with the taste of the bitter apple, which is mostly used for furniture or other things puppies chew on, and will stop eating it. That’s what my friend did with her pup and it worked.

Yes I have a Lab that does the exact same thing! It is truly disturbing.

Orijen food. All quality ingredients and our first Shih Tzu lived for 18 years thanks in part to Orijen and Welactin! We also have him cooked eggs and chicken, berf, etc.

Since it’s an overnight issue, try to stop feeding the pup at least three hours before bedtime. We feed our 6-mo pup on a 5-hr schedule, 7a, 12p, and 5p, picking up his water bowl at 7p. He’s let out to pee/poop outside before going “nite-nite” (to bed) in his crate by 10p. He usually sleeps until 4a without “hollering” to go outside.

Mine will not soil his bed but poo anywhere else is grabbed in an instant. When crating, keep note of the typical length of time the dog is confined overnight. They usually don’t want to sleep in their waste. I pull food up at least an hour prior to bedtime and make sure to take him out a couple of times prior to crating for bedtime. I had crate in bedroom, but was advised it would increase separation anxiety later, so its now in family room and he sleeps until around 6:30am. I will be trying the meat tenderizer sprinkled on dry food to deter him from his own poo.

I found every dog will consider cat litter a treat. Highly recommend the litter boxes with top lid with opening. With these, the dog simply can’t reach the cat poo.
