Question 1

Is Pet Fence Canada an online store?

Accepted Answer

No. Pet Fence Canada is a professional pet containment and pet access company. Our primary business is expert consultation, professional supply, and installation of underground dog fences, GPS fences, and premium pet doors across Western Canada. We do operate a secondary online shop at shop.petfencecanada.com for existing clients to purchase parts and accessories, but our core service is done-for-you professional installation and lifetime support.

Question 2

What does Pet Fence Canada actually do?

Accepted Answer

Pet Fence Canada is an end-to-end, done-for-you professional service. We assess your property and your pet, recommend the right solution, professionally supply and install the system, train you and your dog, and provide lifetime support. We have been doing this since 1991 across Western Canada.

Question 3

Does an underground dog fence hurt my dog?

Accepted Answer

No. The system uses a warning tone first. A gentle static correction only occurs if the dog ignores the tone and continues toward the boundary. We customize the correction level to every individual dog, and most dogs respond to the tone alone within a few days of training.

Question 4

How much does a professionally installed underground dog fence cost in Canada?

Accepted Answer

A professionally installed underground dog fence from Pet Fence Canada typically costs between $1,500 and $4,500 CAD, depending on property size, number of dogs, and terrain. Financing is available from $87/month through FinanceIt. We also offer a price match guarantee.

Question 5

Is financing available for a dog fence in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pet Fence Canada offers financing through FinanceIt starting from $87/month. Most customers are approved in about 10 minutes with no impact on their daily routine.

Question 6

Will an underground fence work for my dog's breed or size?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Underground fences work for small dogs, large dogs, and most breeds when the collar and correction level are customized to that individual dog. We take time to understand your dog's temperament before recommending any system.

Question 7

How long does dog fence installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential and acreage installations are completed in a single day. Larger acreage properties may take longer depending on size and terrain.

Question 8

Do you install dog fences on acreage properties in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pet Fence Canada specializes in acreage and rural properties across Western Canada. We regularly serve acreage communities including Springbank, Bearspaw, Balzac, Cochrane, Sherwood Park, Ardrossan, Leduc, St. Albert, and Stony Plain, among many others.

Question 9

What areas does Pet Fence Canada service?

Accepted Answer

We serve Calgary and surrounding acreage communities (Springbank, Bearspaw, Balzac, Cochrane), Edmonton and surrounding areas (Sherwood Park, Ardrossan, Leduc, St. Albert, Stony Plain), Red Deer, Grande Prairie, Peace River County, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Kelowna, Greater Vancouver, Southern Saskatchewan, Southern Manitoba, and Maritime Provinces. Call 403-226-2717 to confirm your location.

Question 10

Is a wired underground fence better than a GPS or wireless fence?

Accepted Answer

For most dogs and properties, yes. A buried wire creates a boundary that never drifts, loses signal, or changes with weather. GPS fences work well for large open acreages or where portability is needed. Pet Fence Canada sells both and gives honest, unbiased advice — we will always recommend what fits your situation.

Question 11

What if the underground fence does not work for my dog?

Accepted Answer

In over 30 years, Pet Fence Canada has never had a dog the system did not work for — which is why we offer a containment guarantee. Every installation is also backed by a 3-month money-back trial.

Question 12

How much does a Plexidor pet door cost installed in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Professionally installed Plexidor pet doors typically range from $800 to $1,500 CAD depending on door size and mount type — door, wall, or in-glass. They come with a 10-year warranty and are built specifically for Canadian winters.

Question 13

Why do customers choose Pet Fence Canada over competitors?

Accepted Answer

Customers consistently tell us the difference is clear from the very first call — a real, knowledgeable person answers, takes time to understand their dog and their property, and lays out every step so there are no surprises. We do not push products. We recommend the right solution for each specific situation. Combined with 35 years of expertise, professional installation, and guarantees no competitor in Western Canada can match, that is why customers choose us — and stay with us for life.
