It is my understanding that the plug-in pest controls work by sending electronic pulses through the wires in your home's walls. (Not just the particular outlet). Since your dog is so tiny, there could be a chance -- no matter how slight -- of accidental electrocution if the unit malfunctions or your dog licks an unprotected outlet elsewhere in your home. You should double-check with your vet, an electrician, and/or the manufacturer. (I do like how these devices seem to be an improvement over sprays and chemicals.)
My pest control company up here in NH knows I have a tiny dog and uses products that won't hurt him. (we're creative about repellent placement, not creating fumes, etc.) A good company will work with you and your unique needs. |
