And then he gets sick. Rather messy. You'd think the dog
(a Westie( would figure it out, but no.

Any ideas other than making the cat box inaccessible to the dog?

There may be other reasons why the dog is doing it, but from past
experience, dogs sometimes make themselves sick on purpose. When I had a
German Shepherd a number of years, occasionally if he had an upset stomach,
he'd eat some grass to make himself sick. Suggest the dog be taken to the
vet for a check up.

Our dogs do the same thing, they're stupid animals. Cat food is mostly
protine so the dog smells the protine in the cat crap and thinks its
food....(thats what the vet tells us, anyways) try getting a hooded cat
box and point it towards a wall, so that the cat can get in but the dog
can't.

this is precisely one of the reasons i am a cat
person, rather then a dog person.
