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.

Hello- I bought two of them. One of the gaskets fell off of one of them, but I have never had any ants get into either of mine. They are in an area in the garage where they could have ants if the lid did not work properly. It's a great dog food container!

If you mean one that prevents your dogs from going out if you don't want them to, then yes it does.

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

If you have a normal dog, you should have no problem. If you have a small poo eating dog, then it will easily fit inside. If you have a very large dog with a cat poo addiction, he will find a way, but it STILL is the best litter box on the planet!!!

I don't. I only have her in there with the gate shut when I am around e.g. visitors, vacuuming etc.It has a plastic tray bottom so one could put a container in the corner and it would not matter if it spilt.

Yes, I have 2 dogs which were getting into the standard open litter box but now, I don't have that problem. Also, I really love how this litter box keeps the litter from getting all over the floor.

Yes and I only know because I've forgot to take it off when I let my dog outside. Some poop gets on the diaper and some was inside it. Not fun. FYI--These diapers must be used with a pad of some kind inside as they are not waterproof.

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.

Not really, only chance if getting caught would be if their collar got caught, but very unlikely.We've had one for maybe 15 years, had to upgrade to the LARGE when we got our Labrador/Golden retriever cross about 8 years and never an issue.Our Australian Shepherd did snap one of the top pivot lugs at the top because she used to charge through it when she heard outside noises, but she's calmed down now. (We had to purchase another LARGE and just use the door)We have 3 cats and it's easy for them to use as well.

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!

This isnt exactly fully enclosed. The bottom has some openings so its pretty easy for animals to escape. The bottom only velcrose in about four places and the rest is open.

Yes...we simply bought another plastic collar that was thin enough to feed thru the "device". Plastic is best so that it can repel the rain. I used a skewer stick (like u grill with) to push thru one of the collar "holes" to keep the device from moving around. This now "tiny 1/4" skewer piece keeps the collar from sliding around, doesn't bother the dog at all AND both me and "my baby" love the smaller width collar!!

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...

Well, my dog did unfortunately (she's a beagle, so pretty determined/always hungry by nature)! Sometimes I found it knocked over, and the lid had stayed locked, but there were a few times she managed to tip it and I assume the lock knocked against something, and popped. The lid opened, and chaos followed...depends how persistent the dog is really...if they keep at it, chances are they'll get lucky on occasion.

It's not reinforced. Since it isn't your dog will find it hard to look out of it.

Yes, it stays dry and you can put a lock on to keep animals from opening it.
