Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Stinky Neck? Mon Dec 31, 2012 11:34 am | |
| Last year when Hayden's coat was filling in, he started developing a really nasty sour milk/baby food peach smell around his neck. After he blew his coat the smell went away, thankfully! Well, the smell is back again in full force!
What's weird is its only around his neck. The rest of his body is odorless!
He was out in the snow over the weekend and I don't know if its a moisture build up in his second coat or what! Taking him to the groomer doesn't even take this smell away. I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions or has someone experienced this?
Could it be his leather collar? |

| It could very well be from the collar. If it gets wet, and the smell leeches into his fur. There is quite a few different chemicals that go into tanning a hide to make leather. I do taxidermy, so I've dealt with the smelly chemicals. |

| I'd say the collar, both mine develop a stink with their collars. One reason why I now use the nylon collars and once a month or so they get tossed in the washer with my work clothes. (don't use bleach the colors will bleed out) |

| I would pinpoint the collar too. They probably used some chemicals to preserve the leather. Did he have the same collar the last time he blew his coat? I would use a different collar that you can toss in the wash. Juneau has a Lupine collar but I also put essential oils on it to keep the fleas away. And it makes her smell good. |

| After thinking about it, it doesn't make sense that it would be the collar. The smell goes away after he blow's his coat and during that time he was wearing his collar, so I would think it would continue to smell.
The smell didn't come back until his coat was fully in.
It's so strange! |

| I'd have to agree with everyone about the collar. I think leather in general stinks....and a wet leather collar...now that's stinky!! lol |
