Are other pets, such as cats, affected by the pitch? Neighbor dogs are the problem and we don't want our own pet to be frightened.

We have an indoor cat but he is a distance from the DOGTEC. So, I don't really have any experience with DOGTEC around other pets.

Don't know about cats, but it sure works to help quiet my dogs. I only use it when they are being extra noisy, as my Collie is supersensitive to it and it makes her too nervous.

Our cat doesn't like to be right next to it when it goes off but is not at all bothered by it outside or from further away. Birds don't seem to mind it at all.

I have one cat that goes on his tree several time a day and the other one only when the mood strikes. I have mine sitting in from of a window so they like to look at the humming birds feeding, I have them on my outside windows, I'm sure that helps some. Also we have squirrels that play on the neighbors roof and catch my cats attention. But maybe it will just take time. You know how cats are. Independent as all get-out. Patience it may take awhile. Kittens would probably adjust to the tree better.

I don't have a dog but my 8# cat does - they learn fast to stay off of areasMats have caused less stress by humans and my cats

I'm pretty sure it can help with that, mine is outdoors, my neighbor's cat kept coming to my backyard and peeing there, it has really worked to stop that. I use a higher frequency than 1 and still can't hear it. :)

I think it depends on the cat. Mine is terrified of these things, so one good spray and he'll stay away for good. I find even putting one where I don't want him to go and leaving it off is deterrent enough. And when I catch him doing something he shouldn't be, I just have to walk up with one in hand and he scampers off.

I don't have anything done with the cats. Cannot personally speak to whether that applies to dogs. Anecdotally, my friend did not with his dogs and still reported excellent outcomes with pest control.

Unfortunately I can't answer your question definitively. These small ones were put in small places; we have some larger ones that do activate when our cat comes up to the front or back door....my husband thinks they probably have about the same range. I'd just try it; you can always take it down and put in another place if it causes a problem with the dog.

Sounds like your dogs are very sensitive. I would think this would scare them, but one of my dogs completely ignore it and the other runs the other way to hide. I hope this helps.

This worked for our Maine Coon when he was a kitten. He had a cord biting problem as well and he was not pleased when he found them covered in the spray. We did have to reapply a few times but he got the idea and stopped biting them. I think it is similar to dogs though it will work on some cats and not others. Worth a try though it worked for us.

I am sure my cats can hear this, and they also caution you, the human, to not stand close to it either for the outdoor device I have. I have noticed a reaction with my cats.

My cats don't have problem with it. Our youngest cat found out to stick his paw up the shoot and now the other is doing it. I have ours placed on a shelf, In a corner location. They haven't knocked it off yet. If you have a dog who is mischievous or curious this might be a problem. Our cats hear the food being dispensed they stop whatever they're doing and run to eat. I have it set up for two times a day morning and afternoon. I would buy it again. The batteries last 6-9 months.

Yes some make a sound louder than others. I think they run on different frequencies. I've never had any pest in my whole yard so they all work. I know they work because I notice the holes in my neighbor's yards. They all wonder why I don't have any holes and I tell them gophers don't like little dogs. I haven't even told my kids what they are.

My dogs don't like the nozzles either. I don't use them much and put cotton balls in their ears when I do. It seems to fix their fear of it.

not an issue but some dogs can be a little intimidated by the sound and moving water; give them time and I suspect they'll come around; good luck

That was sort of my situation, and it didn't bother my cat or the other cats,, but it did seem to draw predators like foxes. this did not work for me at all. Waste of money. You'd be better off getting the thing that's motion activated and squirts water, then you can aim it away from your cats and the strays will hate it.

Many thanks for this post - I'll be very curious to see how your cat reacts to the pet potty. My cat is old, hates all the other cats, and doesn't share anything - we have, it seems, much the same situation. Good luck!

I have noticed a reaction with my cat as well. I've only had it for a few hours, but right now the little yappy dog next door doesn't seem to mind it. Only time will tell...
