Clevercat top entry litter box review

Clevercat litter box is a smartly designed product that does its job well without costing your a fortune.  It definitely keeps the small dogs out and if you follow the instructions, large dogs over 40 pounds can also be kept out.

The trick is to turn the lid towards the wall and place it in the corner. In that way, the large dog will find it hard to put its paw into the hole and topple it over. To be 100% safe, try putting the vacuum cleaner or another large object at the side the litter box so that your large dog has no space to place its paw inside the box.

Besides keeping the dogs from eating cat poop, the Clevercat litter box is also easy to clean. The design is such that when the cat urines, it would simply run down the side and consolidate into a large chunk that is easy to remove. As long as you place a 5 inches deep litter at the bottom, there is no fear of the urine seeping into the floor. For the poop, just scoop out the poop everyday using the hole and your litter will be kept clean. In this way, you don’t to need to empty the box litter every week and waste money.

Designer dog proof cat litter box

For those who can afford it, here is a more chic version of the dog proof cat litter box. This ModKat litter box has won the Red Dot award for excellence in design and you can see why.  It looks really good such that visitors might not know it is a litter box on the first glance. Added to the fact that it also works very well as a cat litter box and you got yourself a designer dog cat litter box that is worth every dollar it is priced.

Its most powerful benefit is to reduce litter tracking. If this is something that is causing you nightmares, then this product can solve your problem. Its patented lid entry can reduce up to 90% of litter tracking, and that is according to Amazon reviewers, not the marketing speak of the company.

Its linear is also something of an engineering marvel because it stays at its intended place through a small metal placement and is non sticky such that it is easy to shake the hard clumps lose from the sides for easy cleaning.

In terms of being dog proof, the lid can be securely locked and can be stored away at the wall, similarly to the first box being recommended. This effectively keeps the dogs away, even big ones that weight over 40 pounds.

The only downside is the price, which is around USD180 as of this writing. It can be too costly for most which is why I put it as the second option. Make no mistake though. You are paying for quality but some will feel that is spending unnecessarily.  Regardless of your budget, the ModKat is indeed a well designed cat litter box that can reduce litter tracking and keeps the dogs away.
