How compatible is the Existing Fence Conversion system with dogs?Updated 6 months ago

It is possible to utilize our systems to contain both cats and dogs. Safely containing cats tends to be a bit more challenging and dynamic compared to dogs so it is usually most important to ensure the area is secure for your cat, and make adjustments to accommodate your dog.

The spring-loaded arms included with our Conversion Systems may be effective at preventing some dogs from jumping over your fence as they will create an arch that is difficult for many dogs to maneuver around or over.

However, for some extra strength and durability, you can certainly use a combination of Purrfect Fence products and products from our sister brand, Dog Proofer, to contain both cats and dogs. For containing cats, we do recommend the spring-loaded extension arm from Purrfect Fence as it will be most effective for keeping the cats contained. If you have reason to believe that your dog(s) may try to test the system after installation, or you need to increase the overall height, it is possible to use a combination of our sturdier Dog Proofer Fence components, like the vertical fence extension, and add the spring-loaded cat arms on top. Example of this below:

In order to most effectively and safely contain cats, the minimum recommended fence height is 6 feet (measured from the tip of the spring-loaded arm down to the ground below).
