My little dog's 14, mostly blind, deaf, arthritic, with little sense of smell. Will he be able to figure out what this is and get in and out of it OK?

I think he could get in it. Its only a couple inches tall. I wonder if the 'grass' would feel weird on his feet though.

It's hard to say, but I would think so since being deaf doesn't come into the picture for the ability to use it. It is low to the ground and with a dog's sense of smell being as keen as it is he/she should be able to smell it. Hope this helps.

its only an inch high. should be fine. blot his pee up with paper towel outside and wipe it on the patch as often as you can so he can smell it. put him on the patch often to check it out

No, you could probably improvise something. My dog is older and doesn't try to get out.

It did help with my dog. But I think it is important to find out where the smell is coming from. My dog had oily and flaky skin (with doggie pimples...seborrhea) and really smelly paws. This solved the oil and skin problem. And with a combo of frequent baths with this shampoo and vigilance with grooming (keeping fur trimmed especially on paws and around pads) has dramatically helped with the smell. Keep in mind that dogs do naturally have odors and so do their feet, so that doesn't go away completely.

If he is smart, it will not. If his paw or face goes over the light that opens it....it is open, and you are picking up garbage.

The device is tightly sealed, so it would take a really smart, handy and strong raccoon to open it. I have not had issues with any animals around it. So far, it does not stink. Waiting for the warm weather to prove me wrong

I bought it for my dog, he likes it, but sorry it won't help you. Good luck, but it is adorable.

I think that it might be a little difficult for a small dog to press this. They do make one for dogs that may be easier.

Everything has a smell. I do and you do (that is why our dogs can find us in the dark). Thus the question becomes: How sensetive is your odor sensor? Therefore, yes, I am certain that it does have a smellHave I smelled it? I am sure that I must have even if I am not aware of it.

This worked on my little doxie for a while but he is very stubborn. So, eventualy I stopped using it because he would bark through it and run it out. I dont know that it is necessarily too much for your dog, but she is probably just very confused about why this puff of smelly stuff keeps spraying her. That is how my doxie acted at first.

The dog would have to be taught, but if it was not too high for it and it had the will go go through it, the dog would be able to go through the door. Good luck.

It worked great for my 10 year old dog... F.Y.I just had to place some scent on it to give him the right idea.good luck!

I would check by having your dog sniff a citronella candle to see the reaction. This did not work with my Havanese because she enjoyed the smell! Still looking for a solution.

My dog is blind and got away the other day when I opened the front door, he was returned 20 minutes later.

I have a smart dog that does know how to peek out. It does not completely close at the end. My little one got out very easily.

Yes it will, but I only saw two dogs react to it. Little ones, not big dogs. I am NOT a dog lover, so the best description I can give you is a 2 to 5 pound dog, each. They love to urinate towards the front of the house and bark, but with this on they rub their ears with their paw, sneeze, and walk away fast. No harm at all, just irritating to them. But, please be careful as if you stay there long enough, the sound won't get you right away, but will definitaly turn your stomach. Put it on and then leave, covers a wide space.

I think you may have a problem. The unit itself is a small box about 2" x about 1.5" with the spray nozzles sort of in the middle of the short end. They need free space to spray out. If your dog's hair is longer than that, and thick, you might have a problem. Alternatively, it does spray pretty powerfully, so perhaps the odor and the wet fur will be enough for your dog to detect it and respond accordingly. :-)

14 lbs might be a little big for the seat, and if your dog can see out of the windows or not depends on how you adjust the straps. Use a harness, not a collar or you dog won't have room to move.
