re: Does Anyone With Pets In The House Have A Roomba?

My parents had both a cat and dog. The thing you have to worry about is piss and shite. The Roomba will NOT recognize it as an obstacle and it will drag it everywhere.

Yeah, my two dogs don't piss and shite in the house. They go straight to the door when they have to go and we don't even have to put them up when we leave. They just lay around when no one is home. When one of them was younger, they used it in the house but it was right by the back door..

When they were pups, we would put them in their kennel at night and when no one was home and then as soon as we took them out we brought them outside. Dogs don't use it where they sleep (unless they are left in there for an unusually long time) and they learned pretty quick that outside is where they have to do their business.

My two dogs give it the "side eye" and go nap somewhere else.

Cat ignores it, dog is deathly afraid of vacuums. Nothing like a 65lb lab running across our hardwood floor like a deer on ice trying to escape a 3lb circular vacuum.

My bulldog never pays any attention to our roomba. Sometimes he moves out of its way and sometimes he doesn't.

That duck just paused and pooped.

Not a Roomba, But a Neato Botvac. My dog usually just gets up, moves out of vacuum's way, relocates...

My son had an English Mastiff. He would just lay on the floor and the Roomba would continually bounce off him like a piece of furniture.

Old dog never even looked up.
