Is this trap safe for cats and dogs?

Generally, yes it is. If they are small enough to place a paw or nose in the trap and contact both of the plates (almost 7in inside the trap) they would get shocked on their paw or nose--nothing further--and they probably won't ever do it again. Kittens and puppies small enough to crawl into the trap should definitely be kept away as their bodies could complete the circuit if they enter the trap. Hope this helps fyi the opening to the trap is about 3 1/8in wide and 3 1/4in tall.

No, it is harmless to pets. I have 2 cats and a dog and it does not bother them at all.

Yes, I think it will work perfectly for any dog or cat, definitively it is very good!

I think it can. However I purchased sel eliminators which work very well and means you don't have to worry about turning them off after removing cats. I'd recommend using those.

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

From what I recall, the active ingredient is dried pig's blood, so it can attract dogs and cats, but I doubt it would do any serious harm unless a large dog chewed up the canister and ate the plastic shards. The jaws of a small dog or cat are too small to break open the canister. My cat took a passing interest in them, but ignored them after an initial inspection. The neighbor's dog gave them a good inspection too, but was caught by the neighbor before he got too far.

Funny, and not so funny, that people have said they've used it around their pets and it hasn't affected them at all? How do you know? The chemicals in this product may be causing long-term harm that may be slowly poisoning your cat or dog. If it says on the label not to use it around pets or people, then even the manufacturer is admitting it's not safe.

I would also use the glue trap. I used it in my back porch and caught two at the same time. Threw the trap to the neighborhood cat, so now I have a new friend.

I am troubleshooting it to see how I can respond and help you with this question. Make sure you pull the lever to the plate where they step on as far back as possible, then hook it onto the hinge lever and test it. That seems to be the only way these traps work. ai have many years working with these kind of traps rescuing stray cats....

No, this product is safe for dogs. If you have a pet hamster or a pet mouse, I would not recommend this product.

Yes, but keep aware of where you place the detector. It works fine except with furniture taller then your waist and somewhat close to the detector, that the cat can jump onto it. We placed our detector near a stairwell within 6 feet of a half wall and when the cat jumped up, it triggered it. We moved it a few more feet away from the half wall and it worked fine.

I don't think so. It even picks up my neighbors cat, it's pretty sensitive.

This trap will catch any small animal that enters it, and will not hurt the animal. The animal has to walk into it however, and trip a lever that will quickly close the door. I guess some food might lure a kitten to enter. I have used it to catch armadillos, and have caught rabbits and raccoons that could easily be released unharmed.

I do not have cats, but my dogs never interact with the product. The spaces I have used this for are too small for either cats or dogs.

The wire can unwind and splinter due to old age. But until it does, it's perfectly safe for cats. Just be cautious.

I use mine for cats, but I do think your dog could easily tip this over and if it is staked down, he could likely rip through the zippered doors to get out.

The trap is solid and works quite well. I have caught a number of feral cats with the trap. A good investment.
