Does this collar have a smell? If so, does it go away in time?

I didn't notice a smell. It is very pretty but I find it stiff. I think it looks uncomfortable on my dogs. I was disappointed with the quality of the collar. I ordered 2 and haven't used them.

I never remove the collar. That's a good way to forget to put it back on and now your Pooch can roam freely. Sounds like that rumor was started by someone's Dog.

Personally, I have only used the citronella collar and found it to work very well. The only thing is that my dog got used to the smell of the citronella and after a few months, it didn't bother him that much. It also runs out of the collar fairly quickly so I had to keep filling it.

Hi, Well it is very light and I would say it takes a few minutes to dissipate. I just tested and it's been 15mins and I don't smell any fragrance. Good luck.

Yes, when opening there was a chemical odor. I let it sit out for a few days (7 days) and it was gone. Never smelled again.

Ours started doing that after a couple years of use. We don't even use our unit anymore for this reason. Thought this was a longer term investment but a new collar is $100....

I didn't notice any smell with mine and I'm pretty sensitive to odors. I'd recommend letting it air out in a well ventilated place for a few days or weeks until it dissipates.

No. I clean mine every other week with soap and water and let it dry outside to air out. But no, no smell from the crate.

I don't recall there being a scent but it does have a bit of a powdery feeling. This collar was recommended by my vet, and has worked incredibly well whenever we take our pup on our plane.

lleave the collar on all the time. You will have a lovely mellow cat (hopefully) and kitty won't think you are punishing it by putting on a collar at night. Also your cat will smell really nice because of the light lavender smell. Put it on loosely and chances are good the cat will ignore it. It doesn't smell weird like a new collar and it doesn't chaff their neck. Good luck.

No you can barely smell it. After your dog has had a couple of sprays he won't want to bark. My small dogs even know the collar when I approach them so they stop instantly however my big dog is not so intelligent. The smell is minimal if at all.

It does have a pretty strong new plastic/leather scent to it at first, but as others have mentioned, it goes away after a few weeks. On another note, I have mine for quite a while now and it still looks brand new, so it holds up really well!

Yes it does have a smell but I felt it was not nearly as overpowering as others I've used and it seemed to fade quickly.

Mine didn't have an odor that I recall.. If it did, it went away real quick. Anything new and especially with plastic will have some slight odor but should go away as it airs out.

Hi Nicole, I have been using mine for 4 month's with no problems. At night time I remove the collar and our dog comes in just to give her a break. I hope this helps. have a great day, Mark

I don't recall mine having any kind of smell, however, I have read that you may have that smell during the first two or three weeks. If it continues after that then you may have a problem. My guess is that smell will gradually subside over a period of three weeks. Especially if it is continually running 24/7 - which mine is.

Yes, it smells. I've tried washing it with soap and water, plus rinsing with listerine. It helped a little bit. I'm just hoping time will get rid of the smell.
