With Decades of Experience, We Bring You the Most Advanced Pet Containment!

Pet Stop® brand dog fences are American-made and manufactured in Morgantown, PA. While it may cost more, this is how we ensure a reliable and safe product without worry of intermittent failures that are often associated with products manufactured overseas. When your pet's health and safety is a factor, why take that kind of chance?

During the ‘70s and ‘80s, electronic pet containment was controlled by one company making one product. When the patent expired in 1989, the door was flung open for competitors.

 

Most of these new companies merely copied the existing technology, but two entrepreneurs named Bob Slattery and Bob Wolfe, the founders of ReachUSA® and ValPak of Cincinnati®, saw a genuine opportunity to make something better, an entirely different kind of pet fencing product.

 

A Fresh Approach

 

These two men contacted the largest radar detection company in America. Together, they engineered a pet fencing model that improved upon the existing technology by incorporating a variety of dynamic new features.


Their methodology was simple. It was different. They took a fresh approach to pet containment, and the result was a state-of-the-art system. The new company prospered, and today Pet Stop is the fastest growing organization in the industry, sold and installed by pet containment professionals throughout the United States.


Decades of Experience


In 2001 Pet Stop was joined by John Purtell, perhaps the most accomplished executive in the business. John founded the Invisible Fence® Company in 1976, managing its dynamic growth throughout the '70s and '80s from a start-up into the largest pet containment organization in the industry.
Additionally, Pet Stop has assembled a staff of executives and engineers with several decades of combined experience with the Invisible Fence® Company; each and every one of them are lending their skills and know-how to Pet Stop in order to innovate the most technologically advanced pet containment system in the world.

 

Pet Stop® President John Purtell

 

John Purtell is a nationally recognized business leader. He founded Invisible Fence®, Inc. in 1976 and built it into what it is today, once earning the esteemed position as a finalist with Inc. Magazine’s annual ‘Entrepreneur of the Year.’ In 1993, John sold his interest in Invisible Fence®, but after a few years out of the market he’s returned to the industry that he helped create.

Pet Stop® IT Manager Jim Deery

 

Like many others on our staff, James also got his start with Invisible Fence®, Inc. as an IT Manager. Now he works for Pet Stop and is responsible for designing the software that runs our receiver collars. We like to think that Jim helps our products “think,” making Pet Stop products the smartest on the market.

 

Pet Stop Chief Engineer Scott Touchton

 

Former Chief Engineer of the Invisible Fence® brand, Scott remains a leader in pet containment. He has composed several patents while overseeing the development of numerous products that have gone on to define the industry standard. Scott is a crucial part in developing Pet Stop’s innovative, effective, and groundbreaking solutions and designs.

 

"If you can find a more advanced pet fence system, we'll buy it for you"

Some great dog stories!

Jack (Tue, 09 Feb 2010)
WINNER: It is heartbreaking to visit a shelter and see how many dogs and cats have been abandoned. Domestic animals depend on humans for their very lives; we, in turn, know our pets give us unconditional love, loyalty, trust, and a whole lot of entertainment! Dogs have been indispensable to man in many ways. As guard dogs, war heroes, police officers, service animals, helpmates and best friends. I donate food and supplies to our local SPCA because it’s a small way of helping the lives of unfortunate animals, many who will never find their "forever" home. My Schnauzer, Jack, will always be properly cared for by feeding him quality food, like Purina® Pro Plan®, going to the veterinarian on a regular basis, and most of all, by giving him as much happiness as he gives me!

Boris (Thu, 09 Apr 2009)
Boris, my Australian Shepherd service dog, does more for me than I could ever imagine! Because of Boris, I have regained independence once lost to visual impairment and other physical challenges. Boris is my navigator and "right hand man." Because he does so much for me, it is my privilege to try to return the favor. We go for long walks and even bike rides around the neighborhood when Boris is feeling frisky. I feed him the best food I can - he thinks Purina® Pro Plan® is not only nutrient-packed but tastes great!
