Are the receivers programmable to fit my animal’s weight, size, and temperament?

We study pets constantly. The Pet Stop pet 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.

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 Alert® 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 Pet Stop Dealer.

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.
