    A gadget you can use if conventional training is unsuccesful
  • We have earlier posted a similar review on our sister-site TippyPaws in reference to excessive chewing. We think we should highlight this product once more for animal owner that have serious problems with their pets when left alone.

    The Scat Mats for Dogs or Cats is a touch-sensitive training pad. You can place this clear and flexible vinyl mat in a room entrance, your sofa, a counter top, etc. The pad’s battery sends small pulses to the mat for three seconds when an animal touches it/lays down. These surprising little “zaps” quickly repel most pets. They will stay away after one or two exposures, and even later on - when you have already moved the pad to a different location, or removed it completly.

    This mat is veterinarian approved, and by several Human societies considered as acceptable. As stated earlier though, it should be used only when all other training efforts have failed. (This can happen sometimes if you adopted or care for an older animal that is used to scratch furniture or to use sofas, beds, etc. as resting place.)

    Scat Mat Features:

  • One 9 volt battery provides approximately six months operation or 10,000 activations.
  • Silent operation corrects unwanted behavior without disturbing other pets or people in the home.
  • Flexible mats are made from PVC which contours to surfaces and rolls for storage.
  • Adjustable output (low, medium, high) allows appropriate deterrence sensations for varying sized pets.
  • Extension mats can be connected to economically increase area covered.
  • Scat Mat components clip together with snap fasteners.
  • Indicator light will blink a count showing how many times the mat has been stepped on since it was last turned on — helping you to determine when your pet is trained.
  • The electrical energy emitted by the Scat Mat is extremely small. If a small child comes in contact with the mat, he or she will recoil from it, just as an unsuspecting adult will.
  • Manufacturer offers a 30-day money back guarantee and a two-year product warranty.
