Our verdict

A budget e-collar with strong monthly sales, but its 3.8-star average is the lowest in this lineup, so it's worth weighing against pricier options with better track records.

Overview

['At $18.99, the Pedono A50 is one of the cheapest collars in this lineup and covers small, medium, and large dogs with beep, vibration, and shock modes plus a keypad lock. It includes a handy test light tool so you can verify the contact points work before putting it on your dog.', 'It charges over Type-C, a modern connector most people already have cables for, and ships with 4 contact points and 2 spare silicone caps. The 24 inch strap uses a button closure rather than a buckle.', "The catch is the rating: 417 reviewers average 3.8 stars, the softest score of any collar in this roundup, even though it still sold around 1,000 units last month. It's popular, but read a few recent reviews for your dog's size before buying if consistency matters to you."]

Frequently asked questions

Why is the A50's rating lower than similar collars?

At 3.8 stars from 417 ratings it trails the other collars in this roundup, though it still sells well each month, so read a few recent reviews for your specific dog size before buying if rating consistency is a priority.

What is the test light tool for?

It lets you check that the collar's contact points are making a proper connection and the unit is working before you put it on your dog, which helps catch a dead-on-arrival unit early.

What charging cable does it use?

It charges over Type-C, the same connector used by most modern phones and electronics, so you likely already have a compatible cable at home.
