How long does this product last before it has to be replaced?

I've read reviews & the product information says that it lasts for 4 weeks. However, this product did not work at all on my dog (I have a 60 lb. Pit Bull). When I put it on her - she got really tired and was "quiet" for about a day or so. After that - it seemed to have no effect at all. It didn't "calm" her but made her sleepy for a short period...not what I was looking for at all.

I love this collar! My dog gets really anxious, but the collar keeps him calm for about 30 days. Take it off if the dog is going to be getting wet though (like in a bath or a lake).

The recommendation is to change it monthly. Just make sure you don't get it wet.

I replace the tip as soon as it starts showing some wear, usually around 2 -3 weeks of daily use.

No, it has about 1000 hours of use then needs to be replaced. Replacements run about $17.00 I believe.

It would depend on amount of use and how well you take care of it. I expect mine to last 5 years at least.

I replaced mine when it was not working anymore. Otherwise if it's cleaned well, you don't need to replace it often or at all.

Yes, it does. The instructions say that it lasts for approx. 6 months and give instructions for how you tell when it needs to be replaced. I ordered an extra just to have it on hand.

I've had mine for less than a year so I've no idea how long it will last. Over one year i'd say.

I don't know. Just replaced and I don't know how long it will last either. But sure looks better than before.

Hi Julia, If you keep this product in it's container or any tightly sealed container it will last for years. Hope this helps you.

If you take care of it according to the instructions, it should last you anywhere from 1 to 3 months.

I have yet to replace mine. And I've had teh unit for a number of years now. I suppose the battery life will depend how heavily it is used. Mine is moderately used.

The owner's manual says replace every year for heavy use, every 2 years for normal use and every three years for light use. I use it only at night as opposed to the recommended constant 24 hour condinuous use, so I think I probably waited 4 years, which was much too long as it was really dirty.

I've purchased mine a few years ago and still good for me and was regularly used. I have not replaced so far.

I have cleaned it a couple times and it has worked fine. I assume after so long you will have to replace. I used it for 5 years.

Supposedly it lasts for a year, but good luck getting them to replace it. These things tend to die, and they only replace it on a very limited basis.

Not sure exactly, but I rarely replace them, I would say over six months at the very least

The original lasted 3yrs until the first time I used it. Then had to buy a new one.
