If you’ve shopped online, you’ve probably seen DogWatch-compatible batteries selling for $5 or less. You might be wondering:
“Why are DogWatch® dealer batteries $29.95 with a cap, while others online are so cheap?”
The answer comes down to one thing: trust.
At DogWatch of Litchfield County, we’ve seen firsthand what can go wrong with off-brand and counterfeit batteries—and we want to make sure your pet is always protected.
🔍 The Hidden Dangers of Cheap or Counterfeit Batteries
Here’s what we’ve found over the years:
Old or expired batteries: Many cheap online batteries are already past their shelf life when shipped. You could be installing a nearly dead battery and not know it.
Counterfeit lookalikes: Some batteries look like DogWatch products but are low-quality knockoffs. They may not fit properly, fail to power the receiver, or deliver inconsistent voltage.
Warranty issues: Use of unauthorized batteries voids your DogWatch warranty. That means if your collar fails because of one of these fakes, you’re paying out of pocket for a replacement.
Reduced battery life: DogWatch batteries last up to 2 years under normal conditions. We’ve seen knockoffs fail in just a few months—putting your pet at risk without warning.
⚠️ Just This Week…
One customer brought in two collars because their dogs were escaping. He’d recently purchased “DogWatch-compatible” batteries online for just $8.
