General Questions
How is Pet Stop different from
Invisible Fence® and other companies?
No other system can match the range of patented,
customizable features and expert training offered by Pet Stop.
Our dealers provide extensive hands-on training, which,
combined with Pet Stop’s highly customizable systems, produce
a 99.6% successful containment rating - the highest in the
industry. Competitor systems are notorious for blind spots and
holes, but only Pet Stop’s Tri-scannTM
Omni-directional Antenna offers a full 360° of protection for
your pet, ensuring they remain safe in your yard and out of
your trash.
Founded in 1992, Pet Stop is managed by a team of industry
pioneers with the most experience and highest pet aptitude in
the business. Only Pet Stop combines our genuine love of pets
with in-depth knowledge and commitment to technology to
produce the finest, most reliable pet containment system in
the world.
Are your products
compatible with other systems?
Yes. Pet Stop is compatible with most other pet containment
systems available on the market today, including Invisible
Fence®.
Do you offer
indoor systems?
Absolutely. Our indoor
system is every bit as effective as our outdoor electric
fence system, but operates on a slightly different principle.
The indoor unit is designed to customize areas of the home for
your dog or cat to avoid, rather than keep contained within;
however, the system can be used to limit a pet’s habitat if
need be. Find out more about our indoor unit by visiting products.
How do your
warranty policies work?
When you buy into a Pet Stop system, we’re confident you’re
purchasing hands-down the best containment system on the
market. This belief in the effectiveness of our products
makes it possible for us to offer a lifetime
warranty, as well as the following simple offer: if you
can find a more advanced pet fence system than Pet Stop, we’ll
buy it for you. Period.
Can I take my
system with me if I move?
Absolutely. All you’ll need is wire installation to fence
in the boundaries at your new location. Contact your dealer
for more information.
How much does Pet
Stop cost?
Bearing in mind market and location, any provider of pet
fencing differs in cost; however, as a rule of thumb, a
professionally installed system can range from $850 to $1,500,
depending on yard size, number of pets, and
installation. |

Training &
Effectiveness
Do pet fencing
systems really work?
With the proper training
and professional installation,
our fencing system is extremely effective. Our dealers are
specialists with years of knowledge, so you can rest assured
we have the most advanced pet fence system in the industry. In
fact, our customer feedback rates Pet Stop's containment
effectiveness at a very successful 99.6%.
How is Pet Stop
different from the self-installed systems available?
Two critical differences really. The first is the initial
training your pet receives from our dealer. Incorrect training
makes for disappointing results. The second–and even more
important reason–is that not all training is permanent. Over
time your pets can become accustomed to their system, which
can lead to a breakdown in their controlled boundaries. By
combining a wide array of receiver settings with our tried and
tested
training techniques, Pet Stop has a significant advantage
over these other products and can manage behavioral concerns
before they develop into bad habits.
How much training
is involved?
Initially, your pet receives a week of focused handling and
exposure to various correction techniques, followed by a week
of less intensive training–so roughly two weeks.
Do I take part in
the training process?
Absolutely. Your participation is a crucial part of the
process. We do realize, of course, in today's busy world that
your time is a precious commodity. So for an additional charge
most Pet Stop dealers offer a full training package. If this
interests you, please inquire with your local
dealer.
How reliable are
Pet Stop’s dealers?
Each dealer carries insurance and employs only trained
personnel. That means they're there when you need them, and
service is always prompt and efficient. In today’s complicated
world it's reassuring to know that a Pet Stop dealer will be
there when you need them the most.
Does the
correction hurt?
Like you, we love pets. All pets! The last thing we’d ever
want to do is harm them. Our focus is keeping them
safe, not hurting them. Clinical research tests have been
conducted over the course of many years, the results proving
that this type of correction is harmless. Our system is
designed with your pet's comfort in mind, and the correction
techniques we utilize work as a "startling effect" rather than
inflicting any sort of pain.
My dog is
stubborn, does the system work on all breeds?
Sometimes we might encounter a pet with an especially thick
coat of hair that requires trimming for the system to work
properly, but we've never met a particular breed we couldn’t
train effectively.
Does Pet Stop work
with cats?
Absolutely. We’re proud to have one of the most effective
systems on the market for cats as well as dogs. Sure, electric
fence systems were originally designed with dogs in mind, but
our feline containment program is very successful, especially
in establishing cat-free
zones within the home.
Can Pet Stop
handle multiple pets and containment needs?
Sure we can. We can handle multiple pets with customized
areas for each. See our product
combinations for more details.
How do I take my
pet outside the boundary?
Your Pet Stop dealer will instruct you on how to
effectively take your pet on a venture outside your property's
containment area, but this is best done only after your pet is
properly acclimated to their new
boundaries at home. |

Transmitters &
Receivers
Are the receivers programmable to
fit my animal’s weight, size, and temperament?
We study pets constantly. The Pet Stop electric fence
system contains over 5,000 settings tailored to accommodate
every kind of pet and personality, so chances are our
engineers and programmers have developed a setting designed
almost exclusively for your beloved dog or cat.
Do you have a
remote trainer compatible to your receiver?
Pet Stop does not manufacture remotes. The inconsistent
corrections are not a humane or effective way to train your
pet, and would actually work against their specialized
training.
What's the
difference between AM/FM and a DM signal?
Most systems use an AM or FM radio wave frequency and
operate the same way regardless of the type of signal. Pet
Stop features FCC-approved Digital Modulation–or
DM–technology. This higher, clearer method has been proven as
the most effective way to guard against false activation and
interference from other signals. It also allows for a wider
array of multiple frequencies, which is an effective way to
avoid interference if your neighbor has a similar system–or
installs Pet Stop after seeing how well we work for you and
your pet!
How long does the
battery last, and where can I get one?
Battery life depends on how frequently your pet challenges
the system. In most cases, the battery lasts from three months
to a year. Of course, when the battery runs low, Pet Stop's Flash
AlertTM lets you
know when it needs replacing. Batteries are available from
your authorized Pet Stop dealer.
Do you have a
battery plan?
Replacement battery plans are available through your some
dealers, or by visiting our website at http://www.getpetstop.com/index.htm.
Do you offer a
battery back-up system for your transmitters?
We do. Our outdoor
transmitter has a protective Zapp Alert™ feature built
into it, but power outages do happen and back-up plans are
always a good idea. Ask your dealer for more details about how
you can set up a self-sufficient back-up transmitter in the
event that your primary one should unexpectedly lose
power.
Are your receivers
water-resistant?
Pet Stop receivers are resistant to moisture, so it’s okay
to keep it on while bathing your dog, or if they get wet in
other ways such as during a sudden rainfall or a swim in the
lake. |
