I would like to move Luna's litter box to the main floor of our home. I used to have it there but 2 of my dogs like to eat cat poo. The dogs are not allowed upstairs unsupervised so that's where the litter box resides now but I admit I tend to neglect it up there. Now that I am experimenting with cat food I want to monitor her stools. It is a covered box. I wondered if there was a brand of cat litter that would discourage my dogs from eating it.

Well most dogs gladly eat clay litter which has got to be disgusting so I wouldn't trust any kind to discourage them, and most cats don't like change so switching types up a bunch trying to find one might upset the cat. I'd just leave it where it is and make a better effort to keep up on it, I have my cats food dish in the same room as her litter so she has a nice dog free zone and scoop every time I feed at least. Unless you think your cat would go through a plastic flap on the box but the dogs would probably figure that out pretty quick and I've heard of dogs getting obstructions from eating kitty crunchies.

There is a plastic flap! My dogs had no problems with that barrier! Thanks for the advice. I think you are right.

I took a tv cabinet similar to this one and repurposed it to cat furniture.

I have the litter box hidden underneath with a kitty sized hole cut into the side of the cabinet.
