 Save Your Money Nov 21, 2008
By John Kula
"John Kula"
I bought two of these at Petsmart for[...]each. I was a little curious when the clerk told me to be sure to save my receipt, as I would need it if I decided to return them. Now I understand.
I like the concept of the scat mat, and I liked the Pawz Away in particular because it was battery operated so I didn't have to mess around with a power cord. These are powered by a 9 volt battery.
I have a pair of[...] old Shih-Tzu's who are adorable, housebroken and very sweet, but I don't like them going into the living room and dining room, and they think they're entitled to be in there.
I have two doorways into these areas and got one Pawz Away for each. I know they worked because I shocked the heck out of myself a couple of times while hooking the battery compartment to the mat - they snap on. My wife also got a shock when she walked on them a couple of times after forgetting they were there. That's another feature of the mats that I really liked - they just sort of blend in to the floor and it's easy to forget they are there.
However, for whatever reason my dogs never set them off and got the "correction". I personally watched each dog stroll casually across each mat a number of times without a care in the world. When I returned them to Petsmart the dog trainer there said maybe my dogs just didn't really feel the shock (it's like a strong static electricity shock).
I know that wasn't the case because I had each device set to also beep when it activated. And the only beep I ever heard was when I ended up shocking myself.
Anyway, I don't know if my dogs were too light to set the things off, or they're poorly designed or what the problem was, but after five days of frustration I returned them.
Maybe you'll have better luck and maybe they work better with larger dogs. But they didn't work for me.

sorrowfully static Jan 21, 2009
By Ronn S. Nelson
"cactus kid"
Before I bought this product, I read both the good and negative reviews. I thought that it might actually work, with people complaining that PETA should get this product banned. If someone thinks that it puts out a static shock so horrible that it should be banned, than it must be good! Wrong... My dogs walked all over it like they were on a Sunday afternoon stroll. I thought that it must not be working, so I held their feet to the fire, and placed them down on the static discharge wires imbedded in the mat. I received a dirty look from my dog, which interpreted means " Just what do you think you are trying to accomplish by this stupidity?" I then decided that I would sacrifice myself and test it with my hand. I was prepared for the worst and received the least. I almost had to imagine receiving a shock. I thought that maybe the battery was dead, so I gave it the old trusty 9 volt battery tongue test. Yikes, it was fully alive. In the end, I decided that I had received worse punishment from the static off the living room carpet. Save your money and frustration by staying away from this product.

 Great to keep cats away from house plants! Dec 01, 2008
By Charlotte
I have purchased two Pawz Away mats to use with my cats. I have plants in different locations in the house. The cats would either nibble on the leaves or scratch around in the dirt! I placed the mats in front of the plants and the cats immediatly learned to stay away!

 Great for under the X-Mas tree Nov 25, 2008
By Jay Dibby
My cat and I both love Xmas and the Xmas tree. Albeit for different reasons. My cat even leaves little "presents" for me. But these are the presents I rather do without! So I picked up this PawzAway doo-dadd contraption. Let's just say Xmas will be a lot more pleasant with my cat not getting into the tree and the tinsel, and popcorn, and decorations, and ornaments and leaving me "presents"!
Seriously though, I would recommend this if you have a dog/cat that is mischievious and likes to get into things.

Works well for my cats Apr 12, 2010
By R. Kreisler
I'm a vet student with 6 cats, and this works well to keep them away from a section of the wall which was being used as a bathroom. I'm ordering 2 more right now. I have large cats, don't know if that makes a difference... Would be 5 stars if it was a little less expensive.
