PetSafe Pawz Away Indoor Pet Barrier

This is amazing and I wish I had known about it sooner. I have a bird in a big handmade hut in my home and I have a cat. The cat wears it when he comes out of his part of the house and around where my Bindi plays. I think the cat believes the bird is the one giving him the shock. He stays clear of her. It'll beep several times to let the cat know that you must back away, if he ignored it it shocked and scared him. And yes, I used it on myself several times. It's the less than the shock that you'd receive in winder rubbing cloth, then touching metal. Less than that for a cat, you can adjust it and replace the flat collar with another one to use on a dog. I plan on getting another one for the counter This is amazing and I wish I had known about it sooner. I have a bird in a big handmade hut in my home and I have a cat.

I bought this to deter a food-obsessed cat from eating her sister’s food. It works, but she does not care. She is willing to get zapped if it means she gets more food. How do I refund this?

Mine worked, “maybe” for a week. As others have said, if your cat has thick or long hair, you’d have to shave it. Even after shaving my short hairs neck she could hear the beeping but the “shock” was nonexistent. Definitely wish I had read more reviews before making my purchase!

This worked for about a week. Was pretty effective in keeping my kitty from darting out of the patio door. It stopped dead after a week. I changed the batteries and still nothing. Very disappointed.

I do not recommend this product. My cat destroyed the collar within two days of wearing it.. seems like a lot of money to be able to be destroyed so incredibly fast.. wouldn’t have purchased if I would’ve known it wouldn’t last long..

We got this to train my cat and he does not even notice. He laid down right inside the barrier and began cleaning himself.

It only works some of the time so it really doesn’t stop your dog from going anywhere. Waste of money.

Very cheap looking. There is no on or off button. I was okay with the poor quality as long as the device worked, but It stopped working after a week.

We bought this to keep our cat from sitting in front of our bedroom door. He’d either bolt in as soon as we’d open the door or he’d sit right outside the door and whine all night long, keeping us up. He’s not allowed in the bedroom because my husband has allergies so the bedroom is our one cat-free zone. Anyway when we first got the collar on him and got it all turned on, he didn’t really react. But after a few shocks I could tell he was getting annoyed and so he’s been staying away ever since. I was very pleased with how this worked! I’m especially happy that the shock doesn’t hurt him! It just mildly annoys him. I’m sure anyone who knows cats, knows that they don’t take well to being annoyed We bought this to keep our cat from sitting in front of our bedroom door.

I’m sure anyone who knows cats, knows that they don’t take well to being annoyed or uncomfortable, so this is working like a charm on our boy lol Also my cat never wears a collar and has never taken well to them in the past. But he’s very comfortable wearing this collar and never minds when i put it on him. I will say, my reason for only 4 stars is because the collar isn’t the best quality. We adjusted it to his size according to the instructions, snipping off the excess. But it still keeps wriggling itself loose. Now I’m on the hunt for a different collar to use but the instructions say it has to have no metal in it. And finding a collar that doesn’t have any metal is turning out to be very difficult. All in all, I definitely recommend trying this for your cat. … more

When it works, it works well. But the battery doesn’t make good contact when the rubber seal is on and the system doesn’t work. I had to take the rubber seal to get a good contact but the battery assembly is lose and eventually falls off and gets lost. Had the same issue with two of these.
