Is it safe to use around cats and dogs if it is put where they cannot get to it?

I think the cats are more likely to eat the dead rats and mice and there haven't been many stray or Ferrel cats around since I have been using it. There are also no rats or mice. I have two dogs and they do not eat rodents so it has not been a problem for them.

Don't have dogs or cats but I do have chickens. Rodents in the coop so I purchased the Eaton Gold Key Rat Depot to house the bait. No problems.

First off you should use a bait station so your pets/children have no direct access to the poison. The other thing to be worried about is your pet catching and eating the mouse before it succumbs to the poison. This can be easier for them to do because the poison has slowed the mouse down. Hope this helps.

NO! It's not safe around any domestic animal, wild animal, pet or livestock. It says on the package for agricultural use only. What makes it worse is it looks like a dog treat. This product, while effective against rodents, has no place in residential use. It's a rat killer and a pet killer.

If they eat it, it will kill your pet so be very careful where you place it.

In my opinion it will not hurt dogs or cats. I don't believe they would touch it more than once.

Though I don't have a dog, I can assure you this spray will leave a potent "peppermint" sort of scent in the areas you spray. Chances are your dogs won't really dig it because I had to use it repeatedly in specific areas to keep the cat from becoming comfortable again. I doubt it will harm them as much as "annoy" them -- again, not completely sure, though.

Lisa, I have wondered the same thing. I don't see why not, since my dog that uses it only weighs 6 lbs.! My only concern with a cat would be leaving them unattended with a non-breakaway collar on. I have known people that have successfully used the "other" name brand underground fencing with cats. The collar looks to be about the same size.

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.

Yes, this product is safe for usage with cats as well as just about all companion animals. It is an extremely safe and effective product. My Vet has recommended it to me for usage with dogs, cats, and rabbits and my Aunt uses it with a few cats that have extremely sensitive skin with excellent results...soft fur, no flaking, no irritation, no residue, mild pleasing scent. It's great stuff!

Unfortunately no, but ive heard that putting dog urine (nasty i know) would help by putting it around the border of your yard. This product helps with when a cat urinates and you need to clean it up and get rid of the smell but it is good to put around if that stray cat was there because itll erase its "territory"

My guess is that a large mouse would be able to access the device. As to the cat, its paw is safe - unless the paw is very long and inserted very far. Pretty safe for cat.

Yes, just put it anywhere in your car. When we first got it we hid it all over to see if we could find it before we put it on our cats and didn't matter where we hid it it worked.

I agree with V. Sams. Raise it off the floor so the cat can squeeze through but not the dog.

I wouldn't. Harmful to pets/children if they get in contact. Intended for outdoor use only where it breaks down within a week or so.

No, unfortunately, because it's squishy, it can be hidden in those places. I just found ours behind the sofa after months of not seeing it. But, our cats so love it, even the elder queen cat who usually does not deign to play with cat toys.

My cats have not be able to get through the wire, my only thought is not to leave them alone with the toy? I play with my cats with the toy when I am home and put it up when I can at work! Sorry, but that is all I can think of!

Cat will be able to go under it and possibly scratch it to pieces. This is more for insect protection

I doubt it. I put catnip on it and my cats still won't go near it. Oh, well.

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

I would think that since it is safe to use around pets and small animals, that it would be safe to use around small children, but I would find out from the factory personally to make 100% sure!! :)
