The odor stays with the toy, all Petsafe toys of the odor. You have to wash your hands a couple of times before it goes away.

I have the 80 pound version. They did not smell when we got them. The quality is very high and we're very happy with them. I would wash them with baking soda and water and let them sit for a day or so.

I never noticed any smell when I received it. I have had it over a year now and after washing it yesterday I checked and it smells like my laundry soap. I would give it a wash that should work.

This product brought long waited for relief for my cocker spaniel...however, the problem did return. I used it again and it cleared up quickly again. At the very least, it surely is the only stuff that thoroughly cleaned that awful smelly gunk from under the flap of his ears. Perhaps you should try using a little on your dog's ears at first to see if there is an improvement--maybe some dogs respond differently--I only know it worked for our dog. Good luck!

It has a synthetic type smell when it's new, but that disapates within a day or two out of the packaging. If it lasts longer than that, could be moldy from being wet or something and you should get another

Mine never had a really strong odor. There was a slight odor, but not an unpleasant one, for the first week or so but none that I've noticed since then. I think it just needed to air out a little. Now it just smells like leather.

That's a tough one, I put a slightly smaller bath mat under mine. That seems to help. You can also try a little Vicks pups don't like the smell of it. Hope it helps.

Were you using a little bleach to clean it? If so and the oders remain, then in a cup, try using a little baking soda and viniger, swish it around in it, you can let it soak if needed, then rince it well, if the smells stry in it after that, then my guess is its defective and I'd try sending it back for a replacement.

What smell? There was no smell from mine. Was your package outside and an animal tangled with it?

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

I wish I could help you concerning the odor. I never opened the one I bought up. It was a replacement for someone in the family. I accidentally Machine WASHED hers and it Ruined it! Don't wash it, take it to the cleaners and ask them is my suggestion.

I've had my manatea for about two weeks and I've never had any problems with a plastic smell. I agree with Maryann, vinegar might work but then you'd have to wash it a couple times to get ride of the vinegar smell. It couldn't totally work though.

The manufacturer fixed the smell, there was no odor when I ordered it November 2013. My first dog (Yorkie mix) weighs 10 lbs but he was tall and did not fit the bag well. He also tore the bag from the inside. My other dog (5lbs) was able to move around just fine. Bergan stood behind their products and gave us the second bag. We now only use the 2nd bag for the smaller dog.

I don't think it smells bad at all. I don't know the one you mentioned however so no clue if it would smell the same. I had my daughter check it and she says it doesn't have much scent at all and she has the nose of a bloodhound!

Ours just had a strong rubber smell. It has gotten alot better. We put stuff in ours and put it in the freezer, the dog goes crazy for it.
