How the Spray Deterrent Works
The PetSafe®SSSCAT unit uses infrared to monitor movement up to 3 ft. away. It detects
movement through changes in temperature and sends a quick, safe spray to startle your
pet. Your pet quickly learns to avoid areas that are off-limits. The spray is odorless and
safe; however, it is a sufficient stimulus to deter pets from jumping on countertops, digging
in trash or entering restricted areas. It is effective for both cats and dogs of all sizes and
