PetSafe Pet Fence System Surge Protector

In Florida we frequently get afternoon thunderstorms. Each time lightning is in my area my fence alarm would start beeping as if the connection was broken even though I have one continuous wire - no splices. Since installing the surge protector my fence has not beeped once. The alarm on the fence at my Mom's house would not beep after nearby lightning but also would not transmit the radio signal, after installing the surge protector at her house the problem was resolved as well. The surge protector is a MUST in Florida!

We had this item before but it was struck by lightening, with worry our dogs would get out we found chewy.com and they had the replacement here with great speed!!! This is a great remedy to keeping your dogs safe and freedom to run!!!

This is a must have and undoubtedly has allowed my fence that encompasses 12 acres to function for last 4 years. Alas, last close lighting strike fried it and still got my transmitter. Good news is that when I called Sportdog to get just a new transmitter, they gave me a great deal and when I told them my surge protector was fried, they sent me a free one since it has a lifetime warranty. But, Chewy did great getting me this replacement which is now a spare.
