My dogs have recently started peeing on the rug underneath my dining room table. Would this be of use to keep them off a rug in a dining area ?

No, I wouldnt recommend this product for your situstion. It didn't deter my cats behavior & had absolutely no effect in the dogs. Somehow the animals managed not to set it off while continuing their behavior, but I made the thing go off regularly. The alarm is annoying but didn't bother the pets at all. Don't waste your money.

probably not....the alarm is not very loud..try putting there food there...they would not pee in their food would they? And...it's nice to know other folks have problem pets too...LOL

Sorry, I don't have a dog but it's fine for dry cat food and fur. Works best on hardwood and tile - not the best on carpet. Need to check the cylinder inside the dirt cup as it can lose suction if it's clogged.

I have dogs but it is a good barrier between my kitchen and dining room.My 3 dogs stay out of the dining room.My 1 cat never tried to climb it and was happy when the dogs were on the other side.

Maybe. I had a long, informative conversation with my vet about cat bathroom habits gone horribly wrong & learned that there are multiple factors at work in what makes an animal use a spot. XO has NO deterrent to prevent using the spot again. (A deterrent in the garden, for example, is red pepper flakes which cause the animal to avoid the area.) My experience is that XO takes away the "marking" scent that made the spot attractive to the animal. But the spot might be attractive for other reasons (how it feels, location & other factors.) XO can't solve that. I tried a product sold by my local pet supply store. It did not work as well as XO. I continue to buy XO. My cat who liked to use my best rug as a bathroom passed away from old age. I continue to buy XO to use around the house. I have a youngster who is sometimes visited by the barf fairy during the night & his aim misses the toilet bowl -- XO works wonders in ridding smells. It does not merely mask them as some product do. Hope this helps.

You could probably use it for that purpose but put it on a slip proof surface and use a silicon mat or something similar on the tray itself so the dog bowls don't move while dogs are eating.

I would not use it to keep cats off the furniture, as strong scenting oils (also essential oils) are in fact very dangerous for cats. Check out this article. http://articulateanimals.com/blog/2009/10/essential-oils-2/

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

Yes! I went to Lowe's and purchased a 4X3 Ft Rubber Mat/Rug from the flooring department, it also stopped the Pet Crate from sliding on the floor when my Golden Retriever goes in and out of it.

The foil-type outer surface does protect the furniture underneath from animal urine and other liquids as long as the foil has not been damaged. Ours has tiny holes from cat claws here and there, but we still put it on our couch every night.

This is pretty good about preventing stains. It worked for me for dog urine. It protects the carpet from staining, but the urine still goes down to pad like normal if you let it sit. Make sure stain is.gone before putting it on, though, or it will seal the stain in permanently.

It will keep them from peeing on certain spots on carpeting. I don't know about just scratching.

I wouldn't recommend this for dogs at all. There are no dividers between the floors just a small half circle shelf. If you have a cat, the shelf is to small for them to stretch out on.we built a bigger shelf for each level and covered them with carpet to be more comfy.

They sell this stuff at pet stores called Bitter Apple. I think you probably would be also able to find it on here. Just spray a little and it makes it bitter and dogs hate them. But I hope it won't deter them from peeing on the pads. I used it on furniture legs, corners of the wall etc when my baby was alive. RIP Annie..... :(

I wouldn't think so. There is such a thing as an indoor pee spot for dogs, but it looks more like a patch of grass where the pee seeps through to a through and the poo stays on top. They are more expensive, but are more of a permanent structure.

I have been using these for a cat who suddenly stopped using the litter box for urination. He goes on the paper and sometimes will try to coverwith an edge of pad, but it does protect the rug. We still use a waterproof quilted pad under.

Get a main Scat Mat (the one with the battery pack included) and any extensions you need to cover the length of your counters. My brother and sister-in-law used these to keep their Labrador off their counters. That's how I got the idea to use it to keep my cats off my daughter's bed.

It isn't designed for indoor use as the dog probably could not enter the room or house with the unit on. It is made for outdoor use and when it's working correctly it is perfect for keeping them inside the barrier. The area covered is way bigger than a couch!!!!
