PetSafe · SmartDoor Connected Pet Door
Can a Medium-door cat use a collar key instead of implanted-chip access?
Yes. PetSafe documents access for dogs or cats using paired Connected Pet Door Keys. Choose and pair the key using PetSafe’s guidance for the pet’s actual wearing height. PetSafe describes 3 key sizes. Its larger-key suggestion applies when hand-held testing unlocks the door but the pet’s approach does not, and a low pet’s key may sit outside detection. The Medium or Large package label is not an exclusive replacement rule.

Tractive · Tractive CAT 6 Mini
Can CAT 6 Mini tell me whether my cat has a medical condition?
CAT 6 Mini is not a medical device. Its readings are not a diagnosis; concerns about your cat's health belong with a veterinarian, not a conclusion drawn from the tracker alone.

Tractive · Tractive DOG 6 XL
Can I charge DOG 6 XL when both LEDs are blue?
No. Tractive identifies both blue LEDs as detected moisture. Do not charge; wipe gently with a lint-free cloth and air-dry for 24 hours. The port must be completely dry before charging; if it remains wet or the blue moisture LEDs remain on, keep the charger disconnected. The product's protection rating does not replace this stop instruction.

Tractive · Tractive DOG 6
Can I choose a DOG 6 charger just because the connector fits?
No. DOG 6 requires a 5V USB supply. Check the adapter output as well as the connection; Tractive warns that a higher-voltage supply can damage the battery.

PetSafe · SmartDoor Connected Pet Door
Can I pause a schedule without deleting it?
Yes. Use the event switch under Schedule: grey is off and blue is on. Editing an event is different—PetSafe says to delete it and create a replacement.

PetSafe · SmartDoor Connected Pet Door
Can I substitute lithium or rechargeable cells when replacing the batteries?
No. PetSafe’s battery instructions explicitly prohibit lithium and rechargeable batteries and specify alkaline cells. Use 4 C-cell batteries for Medium or 4 D-cell batteries for Large.
