Would this collar work on a very small dog? I have the PetSafe wireless fence system...but need a very small collar for a 5 pound dog. Would the cat collar work for him?

Look at 'PetSafe Deluxe Ultralight Dog Fence Collar - PUL-275'. I just purchased two for our 10 lb dogs. Hopefully, it will work with the wireless fence system. :)

I have a german short hair a shih tzu and 2 cats. All their collars have the same receivers and work with in the same ranges. The shih tzu is wesring the small dog collar and is 10 pounds. I don't think her collar would go small enough to fit like a yorkie. The cat collar has the same receiver and does expand from cat size to it would fit the shih tzu. For a five pound dog i'd go with the cat collar,

I used mine on an 18 pound cat, and it fit great. I would think it would work well on a small dog

We have used the Pet Safe fence system for large cats and small dogs. The problem we have had (are presently having) is the wire they sell is not well insulated and the system requires a lot of well insulated wire to work the main box that signals the collar when it is too close to the wires. This has made our system not usable as we seek commercial grade wire with the proper insulation. Their wire(as supplied) deteriated even when not used , let alone when we used the system.

You can not use the dog collar on a cat. There is a specific collar for cats.

I bought the 4-line tag and it was about the width of my thumb (maybe 3/4" wide?), fitting on a regular width leather dog collar. The company was very responsive - if I were you I would contact them directly with your question. Based on my purchase, I'd speculate that the 1 or 2 line tags would fit a small cat collar. Good luck!

Thank you for your question! This system is not compatible with PetSafe In-Ground Receiver Collars, but will work with the PetSafe Extra Collar for Wireless Containment for dogs, 6"-28" neck, Red .

It will definitely work BUT we found out it doesn't work with other systems.....you have to buy the collar that goes with it. It did keep our dogs out of specific areas of the yard, though, it's definitely not strong enough like a wireless fence to keep dogs "in" the yard.

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!

We have the PetSafe Wireless Containment System PIF-300 and it worked fine with the receiver we had. The original collar was cut short for a smaller dog, but we now needed it for a very large dog, so we got this replacement collar. It's not quite as wide as the one that came with the PetSafe system, but it's worked fine on a mastiff.

I can't tell you because I have a small dog. I actually use it more on my cat and it works great. Dont know why it wouldn't work on a large dog!

My dogs are smaller than some cats. Kittens may be too small there was a review I saw that said really light animals might not trigger. It is very sensitive though. A pounce would probably trigger

My vet recommended I try this collar before starting my dog on medications (doggie Prozac). Unfortunately it did not work for my 4 year old 20 lb Schnauzer who suffers from anxiety around other dogs. That does not mean it will not work for your dog. I would suggest you try it.

to be honestI tried it on full for my dogHe let out a little yip in response but otherwise ignored the collar. I eventually gave up. (If he is not in an enclosed area, nothing will prevent him from running around and hassling cats)

Hi. If you want a wireless fence collar like the one you reference, the only thing available is the Stay and Play wireless collar and the part # is PIF00-14288. According to PetSafe it is good for dogs 7lbs and up. Thank you!

Brian, I have the Elite Little Dog collar, but I also have the cat collar that works with the in ground fence as well. The cat collar may be safer for your little one. Works just as well. Just look for the cat collar that says for in ground fence. or call Pet Safe. They were at great help for me.

Definitely not, my cat is larger than your dog. The device is much too bulky and large for that small of a dog. I'm also very sure the shock value would be too severe for a small animal such as a Yorkie to bear, even on the lowest setting. If it were my dog I would not use it on it. If barking is your dog's problem you can buy a device known as the "Birdhouse" which is not worn by the dog, rather it sets wherever you place it and emits a tone they do not like only the animals hear upon barking. It works well, even on neighboring dogs which are within the range of the unit.

I think it probably CAN, but it would be a bit awkward. The collar is fairly wide and heavy for a cat. Not sure whether the cat would respond the same as a dog... I.e. Would they shoot up the first tree they came too, or return home? I think it would definitely be less than ideal.

Our dog is 40 lbs and it works quite well. The collar would be bulky for a small dog. Operationally, on the lowest level, I think it would be okay but might me heavy for a small pet.

Hi Den,This listing is a bit confusing. The listing itself is for the PetSafe Inground Radio fence which has an 'UltraLight' collar that fits dogs with 6" necks or bigger. The manufacturer recommends dog larger than 8lbs. The picture for this listing is actually for a PetSafe Stubborn Dog Fence, but this listing is NOT for that type of fence. the stubborn dog fence shouldn't be used for dogs much less than 40lbs. If you have additional questions let us know.Thanks,EZDogFences
