does this unit work on dogs?

Very unlikely, although it would depend on the dog. The unit is easily confused by hair. It also requires a good shot at the forehead or another spot that leaks heat easily. Inside the mouth generally does not work well. Around the eyes can work, but often the eyeball itself reflects too much IR for an accurate reading. To take a reading from a dog, you would need either a dog with a large forehead and very little hair (perhaps a weimaraner, but I wouldn't count on it) or you would need to take a reading from inside the ear. This might be accurate (the ear canal would "leak heat" due to high blood flow and has little hair) but I wouldn't count on it. Very unlikely, although it would depend on the dog.

Only if you shave all the hair off its forehead. But how will you explain that when you haul the dog off to the vet?

The infrared thermometers generally depends on the response of the color of the surface being measured. You have to check if this one is a a multicolor Thermometer. I can tell you that works really fine with my soon. But take a look also to verify the measure range, because can be different for dogs (sorry I'm not a Vet.).

I use the device on a English Bulldog. I think it would work fine on any dog that size or larger. I don't think weight would make a difference.

I don't think it will work on any dog. It's a joke and a waste of money. The only one who would gain is Don.

I have used it on a few different dogs. It works on some but not others. There is no rhyme or reason. If it works it will work right on the first try. So you will know right away. Be careful opening the package. Try it right away. If it does not work, send it back immediately.

Actually, it doesn't seem to work at all. The sound supposedly goes off when the dog is close to the to the unit. The *&&*$%$ barking dog next door pays no attention to the alleged high pitched sound which only the dog is supposed to hear. Save your money.

I put mine on a german shepard,it really worked good,it worked to good,it zapped my dog so much she only wore it for 5 minutes.if it doesnt do what you want,when your wonderful dog barks grab him by the scurff of the neck until its almost off its feet and say no,it hurt me to do this but her parents use that method in the wild.it really works. merry christmas.

Yes it does work on dogs. I have one on my front porch and now the dogs just walk by and keep on walking. They used to go on my lawn but now they just pass up my yard.

Absolutely. I was surprised that it works so well. We have 2 labs & it's worth every penny.

We have two rough dogs. I put the unit on the milder dog but it broke off quickly. I tried gluing it back but it broke again. Not using it right now.

Sorry, only dogs here. Works great for dog odor. I purchased 2, one was extremely loud and as time goes by it only gets louder, I think it is going to stop working soon. The other one is fine.

Yes it works on all types of pets, just be sure to purchase the right size for your wire haired terrier or Dachshund

Yes! It works great!!Pure Ayre's website gave me several ideas on how to use it more than the original reason I bought it for (puppy). Their website is : www.pureAyre.com

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. :-)

I think it would work on any kind of dog. The harness just gently tugs the shoulder to a forward position and they follow with no pulling whatsoever. I use it on two large pitbulls who follow like little lambs now.

I forgot to say this has worked very well for my dogs. They were shocked once and now leave it alone. I usually have it off. I don't know about larger animals.

I think it will work. I use it on my neighbors aggressive dogs when they start jumping on the fence trying to get to my jack Russell terrier and it stops them immediately. I'm can see them through the fence running off.
