My two dogs love to eat cat poop from their cat boxes. I've got three cats and this is just too gross for me, could you please help me!?

Hi Laura
I'm sorry for not replying to you sooner.
Although it’s a common behavior in dogs, it’s not recommended since it can cause digestive upsets and transmission of bacteria.
To minimize or resolve this issue, try the following:
- If you’re home, scoop the poop immediately from the litter box.
- If you’re away at work, raise the litter box so your dogs can’t reach it.
- Place a barrier, like a pet gate, to minimize access for the dogs while ensuring your cat can access their litter box.
- Alternatively, place the litter box in another room and install a cat flap so only your cat can pass through.
- Also, you can purchase a dog-proof litter box that only your cat can access.
- Review your dogs’ diet and offer added enrichment.
I hope that helps
