"My cats use it well. Dogs can’t get into it. Really like it!"

— Amy

"As title says. The top and bottom parts don't align (bottom is too wide), so the lid collapses into the box when trying to lift it to clean the litter. 1 star for box, do not recommend. 5 stars for Chewy for their quick refund, 10/10 recommend Chewy."
