How accomplish you amuse a dog to quit eating cat aliment?

Palmer

My wife and I were wondering why he's barely eating his aliment, yet is taking massive, uh, "poops".Then this morning we noticed that we're re-filling the cat aliment bowl Even added frequently than usual.My wife suggested aloof feeding him cat aliment, however it seems that dog aliment is formulated specifically for dogs, and vise-versa.Serious answers alone, please.Answers such as "tape his snout shut", "a.30-06 from approximately 20 feet", or "fill his mouth with expanding foam insulation" won't aid us even.Thanks.

I built a enclosure that my cats can amuse into to eat however the dogs can't.It has a gap in the front and I fabricated it so the top has hinges and can be lifted.I too fabricated one for the litter pan as that was a popular attraction too.I padded the tops and painted both so that they can be sat on and attending quite pretty.I own had guests marvel at my invention.Incidentally I aloof backhanded Brad; is he smarter yet!!!!!

cat aliment might ruin a dog's internal organs.provided it's a smaller dog try putting the cat aliment in a place that he slang reach however the cats can..provided it's a larger dog then accomplish the same aloof Even higher than the dog can reach and hopefully the cats can still reach it

you will own to food the cat in another place where the dog slang amuse it, or spend time standing by the cat dish and every time the dog goes to touch it scold him, we had three dogs that would steel each others aliment it took us a while of watching the dishes and catching them red handed however it did work any more they will alone eat from their own dish as they own learnt it wrong to eat from another,,they can be trained to allowance it, its ok putting the cats dish where the dog slang amuse to it however it wont stop him trying, training him to allowance it is harder however will pament off, let him understand you are dissapointred with him, as all they ever want to accomplish is please you, so provided he accomplish activity by it and allowance it really praise him, great luck

you may not according to this concept however it works.everytime that you SEE (you must grasp the dog) the dog eating the cat aliment aloof backhand it.provided you associate affliction with eating cat aliment then it will stop.not everyone likes the concept of hitting their dog however it works.

North Wardell

Could you food the cat in a way that it could amuse it's aliment however the dog can't? according to a window or something.My dog eats what i eat and he good, though he wont eat onions either.Must be a dog thing.



Ethelsville

I don't understand, we can't amuse our 5moment aged lab to stop eating babyish rocks (peat gravel, we own it everywhere in our yard)



South Eliot

Try putting the cat aliment inside a clean, covered cat litter box.That should be ample enough for the cat to amuse inside and acquiesce it to eat while life too small for the dog to amuse to the aliment.Another alternative is to put the cat aliment on a shelf or counter that the dog can't amuse to.



Browning

Dogs usually consume anything that fits in their mouth including socks.Cat aliment is not great for your dog so put a stop to that now.Dogs are stomachs are designed to digest proteins and should eat a quality brand dog aliment.Food your dog once a time at the same time every time with the size of aliment based on his weight/size.Dogs that are fed routinely will alive longer, healthier and happier lives.Persons that treat their dogs according to persons are cutting off 10 years of the dogs activity.Our oldest dog is 19 and still walking encircling.We own 4 dogs having a good time.



Georgiana

You could try feeding the dog before you food the cat.Try care their feeding cycles separate for several days, so that the dog's appetite is satisfied by the time the cat is fed.Provided that doesn't work, try putting dog-food in the cat bowl, and amuse a duplicate bowl for the cat...Great luck



Morrow

Tough question...I own begin that dogs prefer cat aliment over dog aliment a million times over.Cat aliment has even higher protein and fats content than dogs....they charge it.This is even too rich for dogs, though your dog will tell you it is not! Dog aliment is added balanced for dogs.I own had this problem several times, and to this time, provided the dogs own a chance, they will eat the cat aliment.They much cherish to eat the cat poop.UGH! The alone return I own begin in 40 years of dealing with this exact problem is to constitute the cat aliment unavailable to the dog(s).Your dog will try and beat you in this fresh "pastime" and acquisition several ways to amuse to the cat aliment.I own had to lock the bag in an aged chest freezer in the garage, food the cats in the garage, and not acquiesce the dogs in the garage at all.Provided the dog is small, possibly feeding the cat on the counter that it can bob up on, and the dog can't might work for you.Great luck!



Clarksville

food ur cat, dog aliment and dont acquire cat aliment u spam mind

This is a general problem in homes with both dogs and cats!!! Trying to stop a dog from eating something they according to is according to trying to stop a dog from barking.It's following to impossible.The easiest, and kindest to both cat and dog, solution is to own the cat aliment in a place where the dog can't amuse at it.This is easier than it sounds.Since cats cherish to climb, try placing the cat aliment up on a aerial place.Some twenty years ago I solved this same problem by covering a pine board 24 inches continued by 16 inches wide in a carpet remnant.Using shelf brackets, I attached this to the galley wall outside of the dogs reach.Under the shelf was a stool so my cat could bob from the floor, to the stool, to the shelf.This is where I fed and watered my cat and she loved it!!! A acquaintance of mine solved the same problem by cutting a small cat flap in the basement door and putting the cats aliment and water dishes on the top stair.You want to stop your dog from eating cat aliment as cat aliment is unhealthy for dogs.Dogs and cats own very altered nutritional needs and cat aliment can be harmful to dogs.Great luck!!!Keith



Ismay

when the cat isnt encircling spray some bitter apple spray on the aliment and let the dog take a bite they wont according to the taste and hopefully wont eat it any added then empty that aliment and accord the cat new aliment.or yiou could put the bowl on top of something the dog slang amuse on however the cat can.



Tukwila

Cat aliment is no great for dogs, exceptionally provided he/she is a larger breed, since cats charge altered things than dogs.My in-laws food their dog cat aliment and the poor dog is sluggish, thin, and quite unsightly.I had this eating cat aliment problem with my dog.I had to literally act the cats aliment to the basement and bar the door with a chair to accumulate the dog from the aliment (and cat litter).Provided you can, provided you own room in your abode, I would try to acquisition a place to act it that is off limits to doggy.Provided not, I would try to food kitty wet food--usually on this affectionate of diet cats will eat all of their aliment now and you could detector the feeding and accumulate the dog out while cat eats.Great luck.



Walnut Cove

I think Ifly is right the alone way to constitute your dog stop eat cat aliment is to put it outside of dogs reach.That's the deference between cat and dog.Cat eats till he is complete.Dog eats till he got aliment, and provided your dog understand that cat is not eating his aliment he starts from cats aliment, his can wait.



Waverly

Great question Michael G.Actually, put the cat outside of the dog's reach somewhere, a special cat feeding shelf, or on top of the counter or whatever else is not too inconvenient for you.The dog will not in any circumstances stop eating it on his own unless you're standing over him.Dogs are built to eat whatever they can.You might try to constitute sure he can't amuse to the crunchy babyish tootsie rolls in the litter box too, they accord a dog poor breath.
