my dog is gross~please help!

[kalmd]

My husky eats from the cat's litter box. I can tell when she's done it because she has litter on her nose.

[Kohburn]

is that some form of self cleaning cat box?

Neither do dogs, humans, or most other mammals and therin is why dogs are attracted to it. We smell $hit, they smell nutrional content. My cat box is behind a closed door with a kitty door! The dog's breath is bad enough without the kitty mints!

My dog rolls all over bunny and deer poop. I haven't seen her eat it but am not kissing her on the lips anymore regardless

my dog used to do that as well...I asked our vet and trainer about it. the solution we used was a product called Coprophagia. it is sold at Petco in the same isle as the tooth brushes and supplements and such...I believe it was on the top shelf. it is just the Petco brand. its a tab that you give to them once a day. I kept my dog on it for about a month and then i took him off of it and he hasn't done it since :)

Coprophagia is the veterinary term for an animal eating it's own feces.
Lowry's meat tenderizer on the food discourages dogs from such behaviour.
Male animals (intact) often eat feces to hide where they and their herd have been.YUCK!!

Had a covered cat litter box and my lab(Doozer best dog ever!!!) got his head stuck in it, more than once!!! and always had the " I didn't do it mom" look on his face after being extracted
