    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.

  • 1993 to 1994

    Introduced a revolutionary new pet-fence that incorporated a number of industry-changing technologies including:

    • Rubberized Comfort Contacts to prevent pressure necrosis (a skin infection)
    • Flash Alert, the industry’s first low-battery light
    • Tri-Scann, a three-antennae collar to prevent blind spots
    • SafetyStop, to prevent over-correction
    • Zapp Alert, a warning system signaling a lightning strike or wire break
  • 1989

    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. Together, they engineered a pet fencing model that improved upon the existing technology by incorporating a variety of dynamic new features.
