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.

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.

Mine doesnt have any smell at all i would try cleaning it with dreft stain remover. As weird as it sounds it is a really good cleaner for stenches (cant say ive ever tried it on that smell) or exchange it. I bet it warmed up somewhere that caused the plastic to smell that way.

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.

Sounds possibly rancid. It does NOT have a strong smell. If anything it is very gentle smelling. Almost without an odor. Get it replaced if new.

I have 4 basset hounds that drink a lot of water. I put a little drop of dawn in the empty container. I put very hot tap water up to top. I then put top on & then I shake really hard. I rinse with hot water so there is no soap. That seems to take the smell out. Also I clean this 1 once a week. I also clean the filter. I change the filter monthly. The instructions say you don't have to do it this often but I find that it works better. I love this product. I have tried most of the others. This by far is the best for all my needs. I hope this will help you solve the problem. Bethe

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

I've only rinsed mine & air dried. If it's just an odor rather than soiled, you might try sealing it in a plastic bag with a few pieces of charcoal for a day or two. That had worked for me with lingering fish smells on other gear.

You asked a question that is impossible to answer without knowing the source of the odor. But I will say that if your dog is otherwise healthy and in a clean environment, this shampoo will impart a slight citrus-like aroma to his/her coat. If your dog is always in a clean environment and bathed yet still has an offensive smell, you should consult a doctor for your dog for a physical exam in my opinion.

I never did! And when it's time for a washing take it to an organic dry cleaner. I made the mistake of washing it at home on a gentle cycle and it made it have a very strange smell for two or so months. I finally got rid of the smell by laying flat in the sun about every day! My baby loves his lamby!!! Fits in the b.o.b stroller as well. I also use it in the grocery cart underneath the baby cart cover for added comfort for him!!!

Not sure, maybe it's old? Mine did not and doesn't smell bad now. Good luck.

Think the instructions say something about cleaning it but if not I'd mix a little bleach and water swish it around should help with the smell

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.

I think it's worth a try. You can also try to put a shirt with your scent on it into the crate. We rubbed the snuggle puppy and a blanket over his litter mates and neither have been washed yet. ( he's 5 months old)

Eek..Since my dog does not 'go' while wearing it, I have not yet washed it! I was planning on hand-washing, though since is so small.

I washed it in my washing machine, let it soak a bit to try to get out the strong rubber odor. Then I let it air dry. It helped a lot!

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.
