Business Profile
Since 1998, Pet Stop of Virginia, Inc. has provided reliable electronic pet containment systems to pet owners in Mechanicsville, VA, and the broader Richmond area. We chose the Pet StopĀ® brand for its consistent focus on improving underground, electronic, and hidden dog fence technologies. Our systems are designed to keep pets safely within your yard without obstructing views or requiring traditional fencing. Serving neighborhoods near Mechanicsville Turnpike and along the Chickahominy River, we understand local property layouts, from older suburban lots to newer developments. Our approach involves customizing each system to address common local issues, such as irregular property lines and varied terrain. This ensures your pet stays secure while you maintain the aesthetic of your Mechanicsville home.
Q&A
How does Pet Stop of Virginia handle installation on properties with irregular lot lines common in Mechanicsville?
We begin by walking your property with you to map out boundaries, accounting for uneven terrain and angled lot lines found in areas like those near Rural Point Road. Our wire is buried along your specific property shape, and we adjust signal strength to cover only the areas you want your dog to access, avoiding driveways or gardens.
What is the lifespan of your hidden fence system, and does it require maintenance?
Most Pet Stop systems last well over a decade with minimal upkeep. The buried wire is durable and weather-resistant, and the transmitter has a battery backup. We do recommend checking for any wire breaks annually, especially after digging projects, and we offer follow-up support to ensure the system remains reliable.
Can your electronic fence work with a dog that is used to jumping traditional fences?
Yes, the system is designed to train your dog to stay within a boundary using static correction and tone cues. For dogs with strong prey drives or that are prone to bolting, we recommend pairing the system with the Pet Stop Stay + Play wireless option or reinforcing training for a few weeks. Many owners in Mechanicsville with active breeds find this combination effective.
