Pet Stop® Pet Fence

Manufacturer: Perimeter Technologies

Manufacturing Facilities: USA

Brand History: Pet Stop® was founded in 1993. Today, the company is led by President John Purtell, the original founder of Invisible Fence® brand dog fences, and Scott Touchton, former Chief Engineer of the Invisible Fence® brand.

Product Cost and Availability: Pet Stop® dog fences are available exclusively through regional Pet Stop® installers. Cost usually ranges from $850 - $1500, depending on the number of pets and the size of the area you wish to protect.

Warranty: Pet Stop® products include a full lifetime product warranty. Pet Stop® touts its warranty as the strongest in the dog fence industry, and guarantees that if you find a more technologically advanced dog fence system, they will purchase it for you. Warranty returns are generally handled through your Pet Stop® installer.

Batteries: Pet Stop® dog fence receivers require custom batteries that cost around $20 - $35 per pet each year. You'll need to change the battery approximately once every 3 - 6 months, depending on how often your pet interacts with the dog fence.

Receiver Info: Pet Stop® receivers have a broad range of user-adjustable adjustable correction settings. Interestingly, Pet Stop® receivers are compatible with the transmitters of other dog fence brands, including Invisible Fence® and PetSafe®. This compatibility helps former Invisible Fence® and PetSafe® customers seamlessly and inexpensively transition to a Pet Stop® system.

The Pet Stop® UltraElite Receiver® is comparatively small at only 40 grams.

Transmitter Info: The Pet Stop® transmitter powers up to 100 acres and includes integrated lightning protection.

Wire: The type of wire included with a Pet Stop® professional dog fence varies with each installer. The minimum wire quality you should expect is 18-gauge solid core wire, although 14-gauge wire is much more durable.

Installation and Training Support: All Pet Stop® dog fences include professional installation and training support. The level of training support varies with each installer -- some installers include only the initial training sessions and charge for additional support, while others offer training support as a standard part of the installation package. Make sure you understand exactly how much free training support you will receive when you purchase your Pet Stop® fence. Ideally, you'll receive at least 6 months of free, onsite training support.
