Clumping litter. If your dog has a propensity to eat cat poop and if they get to the litter and ingest the clumping litter, it will expand in their intestines and will need surgery. It can also be deadly if you don’t know that they ate the poop/litter. Beware of clumping litter.
It hardens and expands and can cause a lot of problems and a lot of expense.
