Edit ArticleHow to Keep Your Dog out of the Cat Litter Using the Plastic Tub Method In a small apartment, sometimes finding a place to put the litter box where the dog can't go is difficult. Here is another way to hide your litter box from your dog. Obtain a large (30-50gal) plastic tub. Measure the hips and shoulders of your cat, width wise, and cut a hole in the lid of your plastic tub large enough for your cat to get in through, but small enough that your dog cannot. Place the litter box in the tub, place the lid back on the tub, and show the new place to your cat. If your cat is too elderly or overweight to use this method, you can do a similar thing by flipping the tub over and cutting a hole in the side of the tub. This allows for side entry rather than top entry. This solution is best if your dog is bigger than your cat. If your dog is just as small, or smaller than your cat, you must have a top entry. Putting the box by a bed you know your cat can leap atop of is a quick solution for this problem.

The side opening won't work if your dog is as small as your cat. Our large plastic dog bed is a practical place for your best friend to snooze at the end of the day.

I'm sure it could also be done with a knife to cut the edges and poultry shears for the sides. Love the idea to make them for shelters- easy to clean and keeps the blankets dry when hosing out the kennel. 848 posts, read 1,331,417 timesDogs love den like environments and these can be easily cleaned and disinfected. I'm curious how the ladies did this too. Wonder if some of the companies who manufacture these tubs would DONATE some to the east coast rescue efforts? 6,382 posts, read 7,318,412 times Originally Posted by steelstress I used a Dremel with a cutting wheel. It was very easy and quick. Just wear glasses and cut it outside.

Lots of little plastic bits shoot out. I also made one for the cat's litter box- I saw one here on CD. In this case, the bin is upright and I put the lid on it. 4,958 posts, read 8,120,674 times Those a great dog beds! Cats might like them too. I use plastic totes for litter boxes, the clear ones. Use straw instead of blankets. Straw will stay warm even when wet and the cat can burrow in. Blankets get wet, then they are cold and start to grow mildew.

He might not get as much screen time as my cats but he's just as amazing. ;)Roscoe is almost eight years old and starting to have some issues with his hips so I knew it was time to make him an orthopedic dog bed to go along with the other treatments he's getting! We have wooden/lino floors all through our apartment so he really doesn't have a nice place to sleep without a bed. It doesn't help that he's 120+ pounds, so he has a lot of weight that needs to be supported - more reason to use orthopedic-friendly memory foam. :)He's previously had a bed I made from quilted clothing scraps and polyfill - it worked when he was younger but not so much now. We've also tried a couple store bought beds, but the quality of those never seems to be worth the price. The last one he had was full of recycled foam, which started to break down and flatten out very fast.

(And was impossible to clean!)I knew we needed a better long term solution, so I decided to start looking into memory foam. You can get memory foam mattress toppers for fairly cheap and sewing a cover isn't too hard. The memory foam provides loads of support for his joints, and I love that I can make tons of covers for the bed and switch them out.Step 1: Tools + materialsShow All Itemsmemory foam mattress topper (this is the one I bought)2-3 yards of medium-heavy fabric (depends on bed size)zipper that will fit the bed (a make-a-size kit might be your best bet!)ruler/yardstickscissors/pinking shearsx-acto knifesewing machinepinsiron + ironing boardMemory foam The mattress topper you choose will depend on the size of your dog! I chose to get a twin XL, giving me about 80x38 inches to work with, meaning I could double over the foam and still have a little left over for cat beds. I highly recommend buying the foam as a mattress topper - you'll save money and have more foam to work with! Pet bed inserts are very expensive.
