PetSafe YardMax Pet Fence Receiver Collar Only for Dogs and Cats Over 5 lb, Rechargeable, Waterproof, Tone and Static Correction - From The Parent Company of INVISIBLE FENCE Brand Review

Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

["This PetSafe collar is sold as a receiver only, meant to pair with an existing YardMax in-ground fence transmitter rather than as a standalone system. It's built for dogs and cats over 5 lb and comes with a rechargeable battery, a charging cable, a contact point wrench, short and long contact points, and a test light tool for checking the connection.", 'The collar band runs about 28 inches with a buckle closure and a plastic build, and PetSafe rates it for medium sized dogs as well as smaller pets. Both tone and static correction are built in, giving owners a two stage warning system before any stronger correction kicks in.', "At $95.74, this sits in add-on pricing territory rather than full-system pricing, which makes sense since it's a collar only purchase. With 564 reviews and a 4.4 star average, it has a solid track record as a replacement or second-dog collar for the YardMax lineup."]

Performance notes

The 28 inch buckle collar and plastic housing keep the receiver lightweight for daily wear, while the rechargeable battery and waterproof build mean it can stay on through normal outdoor activity and weather without needing frequent battery swaps. The included test light tool lets owners confirm the collar is making contact and firing correctly before relying on it.

What buyers say

With 564 reviews averaging 4.4 stars and about 100 bought in the past month, this collar has a modest but steady following, consistent with an add-on accessory rather than a first-time fence purchase.
