Electronic dog containment – A cautionary tail …

Aren’t dogs awesome?  They bring unconditional love to us each and every day.  But like our children, they have to be protected from dangers they do not understand.

Chris, one of my electronic dog containment prospects learned this the hard way. He gave me the worst news I could have heard the other day. Weeks earlier, together we discussed how he lived on a very busy road on Oak Island, NC and he was concerned that his energetic new dog “Red” could one day get into the road. I surveyed the property with him and gave the dog a temperament test to customize our electronic dog fence for him. He loved the pet containment fence I proposed, but decided to put off the decision for a week or two.

When I followed up with him he gave me the shocker…Red had been struck by a car in front of his house right before his eyes! He immediately drove Red to the veterinarian and luckily she was able to save the dog’s leg. But the accident, the $1200 vet bill, and the painful surgery which included metal pins to stabilize the leg bones was unnecessary.

Chris told me. “I should’ve just put the dog fence in right away, Randy. I’m lucky  Red is still alive and my son didn’t see the accident like I did. Not to mention the dog containment system would have been cheaper!”
