Review of the PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence

There are many reasons to use an in-ground fence for your pet containment needs.  Above-ground fences can be unsightly and expensive, and your properly area might be too large to fence in a cost-effective manner.  Additionally, you might have special considerations, such as a smaller area within your yard you wish to contain your pet, or a space, such as a garden, you want to keep your dog from entering.  In these instances, an in-ground fence is your best option.  The PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence will be reviewed here.

PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence Description

The PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence is a cost-effective and convenient solution for in-ground fencing.  The basic kit contains everything you need to cover a ½ acre of property, and with the purchase of additional wires, up to 5 acres can be contained.  This system is approved for use on dogs 8 lbs and over, and the included receiver collar can fit dogs with a 6’’ – 28’’ neck.  In addition, 50 red flags are included for training purposes.

An included surge protector keeps the fencing system safe and stable in case of storms, and the receiver collar that your dog wears is waterproof.  When your dog reaches the fence boundary, he or she will hear a warning tone, and then will receive gentle static shock if your dog does not retreat.  The “run-through” prevention mode administers additional levels of correction (up to 4) to deter your dog from running past the boundary.    

What are the Benefits of a PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence?

The PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence has all the same great features of other in-ground fences without being cost-prohibitive.  An unlimited number of dogs can be contained with this system (with purchase of additional receiver collars), and users will never have to worry about rain or lightning, thanks to the surge protector and waterproof receiver.  Owners will be alerted to low battery on the receiver with a LED battery indicator.

What are the Limitations of a PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence?

The only limitation to this product is that dog owners with more than a ½ acre of property will require the purchase of additional fencing wire.  

Who Can Benefit Most from PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence?

Any pet owner who is looking for a straight-forward in-ground fencing solution will benefit from the PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence.

Who Can Benefit Least from PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence?

Pet owners requiring more than 5 acres of coverage will not benefit from this product.

Bottom Line

Ultimately the PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence is a great solution for the budget-conscious dog owner that is researching electronic fencing options for a small yard.
