They provide four batteries with the two units. Batteries are on all of the time so they run down in a short period of time. My unit never worked right from the start. Save your money on this one,

I have mine on sets of keys. You need to have the base unit close to the chip for it to work well. The sound is not very loud. I don't know how well it would work on pets but you could certainly try it.

I actually don't recommend it. I suppose you could put a receiver on a pet's collar somehow. I bought mine to put on my husband's cane. It seems that every time he loses his cane and goes to use it, the batteries are dead. And when it does work, it doesn't have much range, nor is it very loud, so it doesn't really help.

You must have a very large house, or very small pets. You would attach the unit to their collar, unless the pet has pierced ears. These are made of thin plastic and would not take a lot of abuse.

hello I use this unit located in the center of my ranch home. It takes care of the living room, dining room and into the hall way. over all it is a good value as it picks up some dog hair and other small fibers besides some dust. It is easy to clean. good luck

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

I don't use it for motion, I actively use it to deter, but not as effective as sonic bark detector. As for setting it and if an animal comes into range it'll turn on, I think its a good theory, buy I don't think the technology it there yet. Also, you can hear the device, it's not quiet.

There is not to my knowledge a way to trigger the PetSafe receiver with a remote. I use the PetSafe unit as boundary containment for my dog. I also have on her same collar a second box that allows sound and electric stimulant for training and correction.

You have to be near your pet. You could use it from a distance but it won't be as effective.

I have three senior dogs. My unit goes 24/7 at one of the higher settings, but to tell you what settings to use, I suggest you tinker around with what will work for your "fur babies." You did not say how many, or if they were dogs or cats. That might make a difference. I do like my unit. Follow the directions on cleaning and I think you will be happy with your gift. Joan

I just talked a support person. He said that the little dog receiver and cat receiver are one in the same.

Yes, this is a motion sensor alarm. It will probably pick up motion from your dog, unless you set it high enough that it doesn't cover the area all the way to the floor.I don't have any pets, so I can't say for sure, but I believe it will sense the body heat and motion of your dog.Hope this helps you.

I keep this unit in my bedroom. I also have one in my living room. I have two large dogs and two cats that stay inside. You would be amazed at how much pet hair these things collect.

nop, the box has locators for two cats. that's the biggest reason for me to buy as I all have two cats. It works pretty good!

Not that I have found...it is very weak on this point and the ONLY saving grace is one can get several receivers for different rooms.

Ive been using it a while to find my cats before dark. It only has a range of about 500 ft. If you lost your cell in your house or yard or card it would be great but not if its more than a half mile away.

We live in an earthborne house (3 sides underground) we had 1 bar to noo service everwhere in our house. We got the Wilson electronic device and now have 3 to 4 bars everywhere in the house, even the back rooms. To us, its well worth the money. We have the outside device pointed toward the nearest cell phone tower (doesnt have to be your carrier's tower, then locate the inside receiver in a central location within the house.

Motion sensors are not too sensitive, specially in the case of small pets. Try factory setting first, it should work fine.

I am not able to answer that question regarding a pet. We placed our sensor above a door. The sensor still pick of movement from the door. So, I would assume, that a large pet might also activate the sensor.

Your best bet is to mount the transmitter high enough off the ground say 3 to 4 feet or more so that it will not detect the cats walking under it. This unit is one of the best out there for it's price and reliance. Well worth the money!
