Is the electrical cord protected from inquisitive and chewing pets?
1510014
The cord is wrapped in a coiled metal wire to prevent chewing, but contrary to most of the other answers here, there are several reviews for it here on Amazon which state that their dog chewed the cord right through the coiled wire and electrocuted themselves. If I had a dog who was a problem chewer I would not trust this system.

The cord is wrapped with wire. You would have to have a pretty determined animal, like a rat, to chew through the wire to the cord. My cats dont bother with it, at all.

The electrical cord has a wire coil spring shield surrounding it. I have had no animals bother it yet, and I have the cat, 3 dogs & 11 chickens that are exposed to this cord daily. I ave protected her house with a cardboard box big enough that I could slide her house in sideways that way and the entrance would be shielded, but she could still get out of the hole we left on the side of the box, as well to protect the wind that might blow around on the porch, and we ran the wire out of the back of her house and then out of the corner of the box to plug it in to my outdoor socket. Hope that helps. Hope that helps answer your question as well as keep your pet warm! The electrical cord has a wire coil spring shield surrounding it.

As long as the tubing is small there should be no problems. I am so happy with this product. My cat has no interest in cords protected with CritterCord.

No, I trained my dogs by using a leash and let them find out the hard way. You plug in the box that the underground wire is attached to and it is on all the time.

Since it is activated by the animal's body heat, there is no electrical connection. I would check with the manufacturer of the pad.

There is not currently one on the market as I believe the change of batteries would be too frequent. You may consider some cord protectors, or you can buy anti lick strips from nurtured pets, they have a cayenne pepper and other things in them and the cat won't chew them. Or you can buy cord protectors from various outlets as well.

Theoretically, yes. If you have a chewer don't let them have access to anything with a cord plugged in. The sticky pad isn't something they'll want to lick unless there is a treat stuck to it. This product isn't any more dangerous than Christmas lights.

Check you speaker connections, and speaker wires for chew marks if you have a pet. If that does not work the right channel is blown and it could be just a fuse or receptor which will require service.

The cord on our Kitty pad gets wet. It actually is buried in snow right now. We do not have problems. Ours is inside a house but it is partially outside going to the outlet. Our outlet is made for outside use. Our feral cats love it!

I don't know how you can safely test that the electronic is ready to make a kill. You will only know it is working when it has made a kill. Instructions warn that it is not safe to use these traps where pets or children could put their paws or fingers inside and receive an electric shock.

The wire will not hurt them however they do have a tendency to fray at the top. Mine only seem to be lasting about a month. My cats love them!

There are no wires or plugs so I do not see why this would cause any type of fire hazard on its own. I bought an extra large one for our husky and a small one for our cat who lives outdoors and have noticed that the pads are very warm when they get up off of them. I think it would be a nice inexpensive option for helping to keep your goats warm. Good luck and thanks for your caring heart!! :)

Well I guess you wouldn't have to. You could use it like an electric fence but be careful if the doggies aren't wearing the collar them they could chew up the wire and electrocute themselves. We buried ours since we didn't always use the system so when they were outside we didn't worry about them chewing the wire up. There are 2 connectors in the rock.

The staples are not insulated so they could possibly have a negative effect with your electric dog fence. Probably best to call the dog fence installer and see what they advise.

I think it would heat up the space fine but I would worry about the dog hurting itself if it bit down on the cord or something if it was inside with the dog.

It's a standard chord. If you have animals that chew you will have to wrap the cord.

No , the manufacturer promises the frequencies used are different than those that dogs and cats hear, so it will not harm them nor can they hear it.

Yes they will. Being it is wireless the only animal that will be affected is the one wearing the collar.
