Who is PetSafe

Our brand is built around one goal: keeping pets healthy, safe and happy. We create products, education and experiences that help pet parents care for the pets they love. Because when caring for your pet feels a little easier, there's more time to enjoy the moments that make life together special. PetSafe is the flagship consumer brand of PetSafe Brands, a family of trusted pet care brands headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee.

When was PetSafe founded

The PetSafe brand was founded in 1998. Our parent company, PetSafe Brands, traces its roots to 1991, when founder Randy Boyd began selling a do-it-yourself pet containment system from a modular office in Knoxville, Tennessee. As the business grew, we continued to innovate, expanding from fencing into new categories that support everyday life with dogs and cats.

What products does PetSafe make

PetSafe makes a broad range of products for dogs and cats. Our product categories include:

• Containment and fencing: in-ground, wireless and GPS fencing solutions that give dogs freedom within safe boundaries.
• Training: bark control, remote trainers and obedience tools to help pet parents support better behavior with confidence.
• Harnesses and leashes: no-pull harnesses and walking gear for calmer, safer walks together.
• Pet doors: door, wall, and sliding-glass entry options that give pets more freedom to come and go, including smart and microchip-activated doors.
• Fountains and feeders: water fountains and automatic feeders that support healthy drinking and portioned meals.
• Litter boxes and litter: self-cleaning and low-maintenance litter solutions to help simplify one of the less joyful parts of living with cats.
• Travel, mobility, and toys: carriers, ramps, and interactive toys that support pets at every life stage.

Where is PetSafe based

PetSafe is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the United States, and reaches pet parents in more than 52 countries across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. This combination of U.S. roots and global reach means products are developed in one community and trusted by pet families around the world.

What PetSafe stands for

PetSafe exists to unleash a lifetime of joy for pets and their families. The brand is guided by a simple belief: safe, healthy pets lead to happier lives for pets and the people who love them. That belief shapes how PetSafe designs products, supports customers, and invests in communities.

• Safety first: our products are engineered to protect pets and give owners peace of mind.
• Innovation with purpose: we pursue ideas and technology to solve real problems for pets and pet parents.
• Joy is the reason: every product is meant to strengthen the connection between people and their pets.

How PetSafe gives back

PetSafe supports pets and communities beyond the products we make. Through our Bark for Your Park program, launched in 2011 and now carried under the PetSafe Unleashed platform, the brand has helped create more than 100 off-leash dog parks across 40 U.S. states, giving dogs and their people places to play, socialize, and stay active. PetSafe Brands also directs charitable giving toward animal welfare and youth education, supporting shelters, adoption transport, service-dog training, and pet food assistance programs.

Why pet parents trust PetSafe

For more than 25 years, PetSafe has helped pet parents keep their pets healthy, safe and happy. We're pet parents too, so we understand how much the everyday moments matter. It's the reason for the breadth of our product line and the depth of engineering behind each category. Behind every product is a team committed to helping pet families care confidently, from innovation and testing to education and dedicated customer support.

And that commitment has made a difference for millions of pets and their families. PetSafe solutions have helped protect more than 11 million dogs with fencing, supported better leash manners for more than 17 million dogs with no-pull harnesses, helped train more than 12 million dogs with bark solutions, kept fresh water flowing for more than 7.5 million pets and made litter care easier for more than 1.5 million cat families.
