Cats and dogs living together can be a circus. Sometimes they are best friends. Other times they just tolerate each other. But when it comes to safety, they both need boundaries. Many people ask if our Hidden Dog Fence is just for dogs and if it can handle your kitty pets as well. The answer is yes, it can handle both!. It is actually quite simple.
We use the same hidden wire for everyone. One wire can protect the whole pack regardless of species or size. But the collar is the difference. A Great Dane and a tabby cat have different needs. Obviously.
Big Dogs and Tiny Cats
The indoor pet fence and the outdoor hidden pet fence work with various receivers. Your large dog might wear a standard collar. Your cat wears a tiny one. The cat collar is light and small so it’s not bulky or bothersome. But it still receives the same signal from the wire. You set the correction level for each pet individually. This is vital. The settings for a Boxer would be too much for a cat. We customize each one. Safety is not one size fits all and your pet’s collar should reflect that.
Indoor and Outdoor Balance
Maybe you want your dog to stay in the yard. But you want your cat to stay off the kitchen counters. We can do that. Indoor transmitters work with the same collars. You can create “no go” zones inside the house. Keep the cat away from the litter box area if the dog likes to “snack” there. We know how that goes.
Training Differences
Dogs usually learn the boundaries fast. They want to please you. Cats are a bit more independent. They require a patient approach. We help you with the training for both. The goal is a peaceful house. Everyone stays where they belong.
Did You Know?
DogWatch is the only system that uses an FM frequency. This prevents accidental corrections from other electronics. This is especially helpful in homes with lots of gadgets and multiple pets.
Pro Tip
Check the fit of the collars every week. Cats can lose weight or grow thick winter coats. Dogs can too. A snug fit ensures the system works every time.
