My 80 pound lab takes two a day! Seems fine to us, no belly upset. Walking great!

I do not use the one I bought. In fact I have it set aside to donate to a local Alzheimer's facility for their annual yard sale. I bought it for a 20 year old 7 pound cast. If is small and hard as a rock. I subsequently bought a heated bed for her. I doubt it would provide much comfort for a large dog. Hope is helps.

Yes, it' safe. Not sure how effective it is though! It is no longer effective on my animals :(

It claims that it holds up to 200lbs. How ever when I went to use it with my dog he was very skiddish and wouldn't get on it. So I tried it and I only was 140 and when I went to walk on it it buckled. So I know why he wouldn't get on. So I don't recommend this for large dogs at all

I would think so. It seems to have good results with larger dogs. the deeper bark triggers the spray.

Yes. This has a setting that goes from low to high. We used it on our 126 lb dog, and used the highest shock. However, he got used to it(he is oversized and they said that could happen). I think definitely worth it. If you don't want to spend the money, then I would get a coffee can, and put loose change in there. Everytime the dog barks you shake it and it terrifies them. They learn to stop.

My dogs are big, but no where near 170 lbs. it took both my dogs some time and working with them for them to understand what the ramp was for, but they are up and down so fast I never noticed if it moved or bounced at all, It's pretty strong and works well. Good luck.

Yes it is for large dogs. I have 2 mastiffs and an American bulldog. The Mastiffs are over 140 pounds and the American Bulldog is 120. It "unfolds" to around 6 feet so there is PLENTY of room. This winter it has been a lifesaver for my dogs as it has been so cold and not good for their daily walks. My bulldog LOVES going on it.

Yes, I would say so. I bought this one for my 75 lb Rott, 2 65 lb lab mixes, and 17 pound schnauzer. They have all been able to use it with no issues. It goes pretty fast too.

This will probably work for a small dog better than a large one. A large dog will just jump over it and laugh at you . It will also depend on the dog and whether or not he scares easily.

I got the medium one for our 65lb lab mix and it works just fine! I think the larger ones just cover more surface area, so it's possible they could get the job done quicker for bigger dogs. For us, the less expensive medium size was definitely the way to go!:)

Yes, it is big enough for a large dog. Our puppy is 40 lbs and it is a little large for her, but she is playing with it and the squeaker is gone after a week. It is soft and seems to be put together good. Pat

I don't know if it is designed to deter larger animals. The only animals we have had trouble with is mice, for which this device is excellent.

Unit works with my two larger dogs (boxers) within 10 feet. However it has no effect on our Morkie. We use this near the front door to help quite the dogs when visitors come. This is our second unit, first one was destroyed by a kid and we felt it worked enough to warrant a replacement. Good Luck.

The largest size is a Large and it barely works for my 140 pound Rotti, but it is the absolutely best device I have found for lifting my big dog. I have tried other items and because my dog does not have a tail they just slip off the end. This one is streched as far as it will go and it works! Be sure to line the back legs with thick fuzzy socks or sheepskin to protect your dog. The back harness will dig in and hurt your dog without added layers. Good luck.

We are using it for our golden doodle, so a large dog. It's too big for our Yorkie who is 10 pounds.

sure, I use it on my dogs who weigh in at around 60 pounds without any problems.
