Any tests planned for some motion detectors?
I have Honeywell pet tolerant PIRs at my house and 2 mid-to-large size cats. They're not very active though; occasionally they'll chase each other around the house, but not often. So far so good, haven't gotten any false alarms from the monitoring company.

Had a customer with a Doberman, a Dachshund and a cat that had the run of the home while the owners were away, and there was no way I would use any type if motion detector in that home. Instead, I installed recessed sensors on some interior doors in addition to the perimeter doors and windows. Not much else could be done for interior detection and the homeowners are happy with this. Unless the pets can turn door knobs, there will be few false alarms.

I use/sell pet immune sensors.
You need to keep the animals away from the sensors. If they are able to go near the sensor they will cause a false alarm as the sensor will "think" they are a big object.
In outdoor environments the problem is even bigger as I had problems of insects landing on the sensor and no pet immunity avoids that.
The better the sensor less false alarm you'll get. So for outdoor we recommend dual tech sensors and sometime triple tech like the NVX80 of Paradox that is big, bulky and industrial but gets the job done.

The other thing to remember is that the vast majority of 'pet immune' sensors really just turn down the sensitivity of the sensor, especially those with only a single pyro. They also use other signal processing 'tricks' like signal duration rather than just amplitude, but at the end of the day the major change is the sensitivity.
There are a few exceptions that do things in a smarter way, something like the Takex 6612 which uses dual mirrors & the Crow Genius 10 which has 2 pyros & lens assemblies stacked on top of each other to give true 'layers' of detection.
