I recently purchased a dog ramp

I recently purchased a dog ramp. It didn't work for me so I told them I didn't want it. So customer service told me it was still under warranty so she told me to send it back and I would have to pay for return shipping costs. So it costed $88 to send it back. The ramp costed $150. So another guy said the lady was confused and he would definitely repay the shipping costs. He said I could expect the check in the mail no later than 12 days. After 21 days I still haven't received anything. So then he said there was more confusion and they would send a check one week from today. That's going to make it more than a month before I get the return. I'm unemployed due to the virus and really need the money. Their costumer service is lying to me and aren't concerned about anything but their own money making schemes. Don't buy from them !

Nothing like the description, Does Not work, Customer Services not interested your safety or that of your child

I have two dogs who occasionally during play need separating, Having read the product description I purchased "PetSafe SprayShield Animal Deterrent Spray"
I felt this would be an ideal - HUMANE way of separating them with a STRONG citronella odor ( and I know Citronella is not CITRUS - Use oil of citronella on Horse Halters to keep flies from their eyes). Days after purchasing it I had to use a it - ABSOLUTELY USELESS - why ? because the alleged strong smell of citronella is MUCH weaker than the smell of lemons in lemon marmalade. Messaged the manufacturers in the belief they would rather refund me and have the product sent back to them as a safety issue ( after all it's being sold to protect humans from being attacked by dogs) - Were they interested NO!

MY ADVICE TO Y O U
Do not purchase this product, it does not match description, it does not deter dogs, the company is not bothered about the safety of people reliant on this product to protect themselves or children from attack as they did not want it returned to them for examination

This company is excellent

This company is excellent. Their customer service is wonderful, I was having trouble with one of their products not working. They are sending out a BRAND NEW UNIT TO ME. I didn't have to argue or scream, they handled everything right away. Other companies should be so lucky to have customer service people working for them like PetSafe. In this time, when meanness and rudeness can get you a reality show, it nice to know that their is still people out there who care

Bark Ultrasonic Bird House

To be honest I haven’t even used my product yet because I paid $110 for it and it DIDN'T COME WITH A BATTERY! Are you kidding me? I did a curbside pick up and didn’t realize it until I got home. To make matters worse it requires a 9V battery which I sure don’t have at home. I would expect this for a $20 dollar purchase, but for this price you think you should throw in a gosh darn battery.

Great customer service!

The contact point for charging my dog's static collar broke off. I called the customer service number and within 5 minutes there was another collar on the way. Thank you!

the company is failing the environment for their profits

I have a Pet safe simple automatic feeder bought on Amazon.co.uk in Sept 2017 for £97, now costs £113. The unit has a warranty of two years. It worked fine until I had problems with electricity in January 2020, and I concluded that a small electrical plate/board became faulty so has to be changed. The company informed me today they do not offer any parts to sell. I am rather upset, not so much that I need to buy another unit, but the very fact that a perfectly good plastic unit needs to be thrown away. This is, in 2020, not acceptable environmentally! I need to buy the whole unit, so I have a very small electric plate in working order. Truly bad. I would be willing to pay the cost of the new unit just for an electrical board... The plastic is black so hardly recyclable.
I also note that they do not read their customers reviews on Trust pilot....they have no chance of improving their products.

Horrible place

Horrible place , they have no respect for animals. I paid for a product that I needed urgently for my kittens, I even paid priority delivery, to have them lie to me about my delivery , despite number of email exchange , they took my money and never delivered the product!! they are blaming royal mail although they also haven't received the product and the tracking number is not recognised, I am now having to travel without the product "digital pet feeder" over 100 pounds. awful customer service, and misleading.

Wonderful customer service

Wonderful customer service. They really listen and will go out of their way to make it right. And they won't quit trying to fix it until you are happy. Have complete confidence in this brand. It's rare to find a company that admits when it's wrong and tries to fix it. Well done Petsafe! Love Maggie in the CS dept as well.

Avoid for your sake and your pet!!!

Avoid for your sake and your pet!!!. Products don't last more than 2 years. Seems that after 2 years the problem starts. My first one (still on warranties) would suddenly stop connection to the collar microchip -(all with new batteries)- I only notices that as my kitties was trying to get to house and after that she lost 2 claws!! - Could not fixed with their support - they send new one.
2 years down the line , replacement stopped working, It started consuming batteries on daily basis. I've sent several mails about it, but I feel I'm getting nowhere, because every time they respond, they give me the same answer in different words. I decided to start looking if there is a cat flap that is plugged in somewhere instead of batteries. Will see if customer rights gov can assist me.
At the moment i have to use manual and i keep having visitors which put my kitty in stress.
So don't waist your money and your health- read reviews,

Impressive customers support for my problem.

I'm a French customer from Québec, Canada. I have broken a ceramic part of my dogs water fountain after about 6 to 8 months of use. I called customers support to buy a replacement. The agent called a translator to ease the call. Both were amazingly kind and efficient. Because the part weren't available for buying, the agent have offered me a whole new fountain for free, paid shipping included. Totally impressed was my feeling. Thanks for the service!

Great products, great company.

I am a long-time Petsafe customer. Their air collar products are superb and their customer service is second to none. They have given me advice and support which is superb. Think "beyond John Lewis" for the type of customer support and you will have some idea of how great they are. Durable reliable products backed up by great people, and " no" I do not work there!

PetSafe sells a range of products that harm dogs in different ways, from shock collars with shuddy technology that show a lack of basic understanding of classical conditioning and potential fallouts from not only electric shock, but worse - poor timing due to latency, to a harness (Easy Walk) that restricts dogs' shoulder movements and chafe under the front legs.

Challenge me to find just one PetSafe product that shows any sort of real understanding of how dogs work mentally and anatomically and concern for dog's welfare, and I'd be very surprised

Reviews provided are one sided... lousy return policy...

I recently wrote a review on a product I purchased from them. The review was accurate but negative. They posted my review for a few days and then removed it. I received no reply when I questioned them about the review. Also, they do not have a good return policy. If the product is defective or unsatisfactory, the purchaser must still return at their own expense (which can cost the average consumer without a bulk shipping agreement, more money than what as paid for an item). Therefore, potential customers need to source accurate product reviews from other sources and be certain that they will like the item they are purchasing. For me, that means looking at other online retailers as buying through them implies a certain amount of risk.

Excellent, beneficial to my kitten health

I bought the Drinkwell original pet fountain for my cat. The reason why I choose this one is that its replaceable charcoal filters can clean the contaminants, fuzz, debris and food. Especially, summer is coming. Maybe it can guarantee a high-quality water quality for my cute cat to drink.Though its price is comparatively high, it's worthy if it can keep my kitten from being ill. It would take me much more time and money if my kitty is out of kilter.

The customer after care has been excellent, even though I bought my collar through Amazon. Shortly after I bought it I lost the battery cover for the control unit - replaced at no cost. A year later the collar fell off outside and creatures chewed through the fabric overnight. Replaced at no cost. A couple of weeks ago it stopped working altogether (two and a half years old). First they sent me a set of batteries as the ones I'd bought are apparently not responding well. When that didn't work, they have sent me a new collar. I am so impressed.

Above and beyond customer service

I have two of their pet doors, and recently a part in one of them broke. I emailed to see if I could order another part and they said they would send it free of charge, I'm amazed. Bear in mind by the time I asked the door was out of warranty, more than 3 years old. Amazing customer service!

Very effective products

Very effective products. I hesitated to buy our initial collar, with its not insubstantial price tag, but the company themselves, their products and their customer service were recommended by a friend. The spray collar worked brilliantly for our dog, who had previously insisted on rolling in fox poo as often as possible. We only ever used the first step (a beep) which was enough to interrupt all thoughts of rolling and bring him back to us. Fairly quickly, just wearing the collar was sufficient and we could relax our vigilance. The customer service we received from this company was second to none, a lot of larger companies could learn a lot from them. Many thanks Petsafe!

They said they do not offer repairs, making this product useless and waste of money

Scoopfree self cleaning litter box. I have bought 3 of them over a 2 year period, how ever the newest two (newer models) developed an intermitint fault , 4 years down the line. The rake stopped working ( so not doing the automatic scooping, not functioning as it is i tended to ), The over-ride button does not work, i can hear a click but the rake does not move, un-plugging and re-plugging it also does not work. It seems like a simple relay-switch electronic part that tells the rake to move is faulty as the fault is moody and works when it wants concluding the motor and mechanical mechanicm to move the rake is working.

I called Petsafe expressing my frustration, and that i a, willing to pay for the repair. They declared they DO NOT offer repairs.
Offered me 20% off their high priced new litter tray ( which is still more expensive than buying their product from another agent online)

They are violating The Consumer Rights act that states that they should be able/offer to repair any electric product for 5-6 years or replace it if they cannot repair it.

I would advise to stay away of this Scoopfree Litter tray and look for an alternative product or just use a cheap normal litter tray which you can use for life.
