My dog would love to get a piece of the cat poop if I let him. We have to kennel him when we aren’t home for that reason and the chewing. I have to clean her litter box very often to prevent him from having anything to look for.

So ya Red is on it again. That is the only way pretty much (that I’ve seen) to stop it. I switch my dogs food a lot because I feed a rotational diet and he still likes the cat poop. I have heard a lot from behaviorists about it being learned from their mothers who will eat the poop after she has a litter to keep the area clean. It’s possible some dogs retain that habit I suppose. That is just conjecture though. I’m no dog psychologist.
