I found the certification record easily.

It is not a Class B device; it is an intentional emitter. The rules for
emissions from intentional emitters, when coupled with a flawed extrapolation
method that the FCC defines is rather high by radiocommunications standards.
The harmonic suppression required in the rules is essentially 0 dB, with
spurious emissions limited to the same levels as would be intentional emissions
on the same frequency.
Fortunately, the cure worked. Interestingly, ARRL has received very few
complaints about these, although by the look of the rules and the certification
test report, it looks like interference is likely.

Subject: Re: [RFI] Not your typical invisible fence RFI
There is no record on the FCC OET site for KE3-3002587 which is shown on
the image of the label as the FCC ID number for the wireless transmitter -
Part 15, Class B, Subpart B, intentional radiators. However, if I input
only the Grantee Code of KE3, indeed, all kings of pet care products are
shown. This might be a knockoff with a bogus FCC ID???? Also, as a Class
B product - home and small office - the FCC logo is required on the
regulatory label. It is absent.
