PetSafe ScatMat Indoor Training Mat — Large 48 x 20 in | Safe Deterrent for Cats & Dogs

Overview

The PetSafe ScatMat Indoor Training Mat is designed to help you establish clear boundaries for curious cats and dogs without harsh confrontations. Place the mat in high-traffic areas such as kitchen counters, sofas, doorways, or in front of the Christmas tree to communicate off-limits zones. When a pet steps on the mat, they experience a safe, startling correction that discourages crossing into restricted spaces. The device is battery-powered and uses a compact controller that attaches securely to the mat, while the built-in LCD display lets you monitor essential details at a glance, including battery level, chosen correction, and how often your pet has stepped on the mat.

With seven correction options—from tone-only to three levels of static correction, with or without tone—the ScatMat gives you flexibility to tailor training to your pet’s needs. A safety timeout feature stops correction if a paw remains on the mat for more than eight seconds, helping prevent over-stimulation. Available in five sizes, you can select a fit that matches the intended space, whether it’s a doorway, a countertop, or a larger living area. The package includes a battery-operated controller that attaches to the mat using simple fasteners, and requires a standard 9-volt battery (not included).

Why this helps in daily life

• Clear, humane boundaries for kitchens, living rooms, and entranceways without harsh training methods.
• Accessible deterrent that can be deployed around valuables or seasonal décor (e.g., near the Christmas tree).
• On-the-go adaptability: switch placement as your space or routines change.

Key features and options

• Seven correction modes: tone only, low/medium/high static, or static with tone.
• Safety timeout: auto-stops after eight seconds of continuous exposure to avoid overstimulation.
• LCD readout: quick visibility of battery level, exact correction level, and a step counter.
• Easy setup: battery-powered controller attaches to the mat with two hooks and two fasteners.
• Size choices: available in five dimensions to suit various spaces and layouts.
• Reliable support: US-based team available by phone, email, or chat for guidance.

Note: A 9-volt battery is required to operate the controller and is not included in the package. This training mat is designed to be a practical deterrent for everyday home life, helping you define boundaries in a calm, non-physical manner.
