The closest I could find was the hearing range of mice, which is is 1-70 kHz.

I'm curious for 2 reasons:

To avoid possible sources of ultrasound that might startle the pet.
To try recording their sounds and use pitch shifting techniques to make them audible to humans.

it looks like there is no information on the net about this,on the top of the wiki page you have linked to there is a diagram with several animals and i think it is possible to use this to find an estimate of the frequenzy range,if you dont need the exact range. – trond hansen Dec 30 '17 at 10:20
Have you considered testing this in reverse - most animals hearing ranges are tuned for hearing each other, and pray/predators. So if you can record over a wide frequency range, then see if you can find anything across those ranges. – djsmiley2kStaysInside Dec 31 '17 at 16:01
