Product Review (submitted on December 15, 2010):

I bought 2 scat mats and a dummy one about 3 weeks ago. My puppy that I bought about 3 years ago eventually chewed big chuncks out of all of my leather furniture. $4000 dollars later (I bought new furniture), I decided to splurge on scat mats. Wished I would have splurged on those earlier because I would still have my old leather furniture (which was only 6 years old) and about $4000. It is well worth the cost of the scat mats. My 6 year old lab didn't even try to get on the furniture, when she looked at the mat on the furniture, she moved away from it and got in her bed. My miniature dachshund (furniture eater) decided she didn't care that a new mat was on the furniture, so she jumped on it. About 2 seconds later, she flew off the couch and jumped in her bed and looked up like "what the crap just happened". A day later, she must have forgotten about the shock and jumped up on the couch again. I believe that is all it's going to take for her. I had the setting on low and she didn't even yelp! A friend actually told me about the scat mats a few years ago and I seen them work, but I decided to take the long and expensive route and wait until now to buy them. I thought the price was a little steep, but when you consider what it could cost you in furniture, they are priced right! These are absolutely a need for those that want to keep their pets off the furniture.
