I have a 15 pound rat terrier mutt and he can get in the clever cat kitty litter with top entry. Will he be able to get in under here?

Yes, but it's not as easy as getting in a regular cat box. I have the box in one room and now a pet gate across the door to that room so the cat has to hop the gate to use his box. Anything to try to keep my dogs from eating the cat poop...ewwww

I've had this model and one very similar for 20 years. If our old 13 pound cat could get in easily, I'll bet a determined 15 lb dog will find a way. That said, I still think it is the best design out there and have been very pleased with the design and construction.

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.

My cat is 16lbs and fits through this door. I don't see your dog having issue with this unless all 5 pounds of your dog is belly.

It's possible. Since I don't know your cat it's hard to say for sure. The opening to the box isn't very high it. I measured it and it was just under 3 inches high which in my experience is still high enough to allow me to put a comfortable layer of litter in it. My bunny, Chibi, used to like sleeping in his litter box sometimes so this was a requirement for me. The opening is also very wide. I don't think any sized cat would have trouble with this. If your cat's arthritis isn't so bad that she can't step up three inches and if she only uses litter boxes as a litter box and not a bed (I think if you have a small cat this wouldn't matter but I don't think a larger one would be able to lay in it comfortably though I'm not sure.) I wouldn't see any reason this one wouldn't work.

It seems to me that it would but it could fill faster than you'd hope depending on the size of the dog and his or her output as well depending on the number of dogs. A dog may also knock the container over if s/he is the type to try and eat the waste. What this has done for me is to scoop whenever I pass the pan and that has controlled the odor even more than closing off the cat litter waste in a bag. I do appreciate not smelling the old waste when I add current waste because I close the lid and pull out the slide and it drops below. I use an enamel scooper too which doesn't hold the odor. Be forewarned that the bag can be heavy when it is full and you do have to handle the top portion when you cut and tie off a new knot which may use more bag than you should. You'll want to clean the slider too. It's a bit top heavy when empty. I do like mine and bought one for each of my sisters. My friend uses small covered wastebins from IKEA and doubles two grocery plastic bags in each of them. The outer bag holds the scoop and the inner is lightly tied until it is full and then both are tossed. With her method, it may still be knocked over and the odor is very strong when you lift the lid. Otherwise you do not smell anything so that may be an alternative for dogs.

I think almost any litter box will fit inside. I would just find one you want from a local pet store and try it out. There is no specific litter box needed.

I would suppose it would depend on how aggressive your dog is in getting access to the box. Your dog wouldn't be able to access it through the opening as the "stairs" go up and around; however, he/she could stick his nose in and try to dislodge the top of the box. The bottom of the box has a narrow edge that fits into a channel in the top. One of my male cats is quite large and hasn't been able to dislodge it going in and out of the box. My dog would stick her head in the other box litter box we had before the Booda Dome, but she seems to leave both Booda Domes along. I can't promise your dog won't find a way in, but the Booda Dome definitely makes it more difficult. Hope this helps!

I have a medium size hooded litterbox in mine. It takes up almost half the bottom. So kitty has another platform to climb on. Sorry, at work and can't measure but will do so tonight and get back to you.

That would depend on several things. We use what's denominated as a "large" litter pan. Underneath it, we have textured liner (specifically sold to go under a litter pan) that both collects litter that spills and keeps the litter pan from shifting. We push the pan up against the end with the entrance to the box. There's an inch or so clearance along the long sides of the box and three to four inches clearance on the end opposite the entrance, where I keep the litter scoop. We have the internal divider up and keep supplies on the other side of it. Assuming a set-up like ours, if a cat "misses," you could very easily pull out the pan (and the liner) and clean up as necessary. You'd have to squat down and reach in to do it, but there's plenty of room to do that easily, assuming average physical ability. You could reduce the space inside by using a larger pan, but that would probably end up getting more of the mess on the walls than on the liner. Using a smaller box would most likely keep more of the mess on the liner. But the doors open up the entire length of the box, so clean up is very straightforward.

Yes, I am 99.9% sure it can, and the openings to get through should be fine. It is a nice tower for them. I had a 25lb. cat own me (grin) that would have been fine on it if things had been better for him. My current owner (cat) is on it a lot, but the scratching post part isn't as appealing as I thought.If you are considering a high end purchase for them, if you haven't looked into it, look into the Litter Robot...it'll be good for all of you. Be well, and I hope that helped.

Yes! And this litter box is great. I use it for my ratties and it saves so much mess! :)

There is plenty of room. I even keep the container of extra litter inside. I do have a mat to catch the litter when they come out. They always have a bit stuck in their fur.

Depends how big. I don't think that it can get inside because there's a turn that he has to put his paws insidePs. BTW I smeared a little peanut butter inside

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 is probably not the catbox for you then if your cat is that disabled. The feet are maybe 2-3 inches max off the ground. And the catbox sits inside of the enclosure sideways so he would have to step another 4-5 inches to get into the specific cat box that can fit this enclosure.

The entrance is 5 1/2" off the floor, so expect some litter to get kicked out. I keep plastic mats at the entrance. Also recommend a metal scooper shaped like a spatula that will easility scoop out the rounded shape of this box.

I would think so. You might even have room for small litter box. This is nice sized kennel.
