No more worrying about having to run to shops to get a new set of batteries or wait for packages to arrive… you can now charge your dog’s spray bark collar using the USB charging cable supplied in the kit.

The maximum charging time is 6 hours and the PetSafe Rechargeable Citronella Spray Bark Collar can be used for up to 40 hours.

Replacement Citronella Cartridges with Scented & Unscented Sprays (Recyclable)

Don’t really like the strong smell of Citronella? You now have an option to switch to an unscented spray deterrent because the kit comes with two different cartridges (similar to a printer cartridge) that give you both scented & unscented Citronella sprays.

Both cartridges can be easily attached and removed from the spray bark collar and each cartridge refill can reach 30 to 40 sprays.

Dual Activation - Dog Bark Sound & Vibration

The dual activation feature ensures that your dog won’t get incorrectly sprayed because of another dog’s bark - if you have other dogs around.

This PetSafe Citronella Bark Collar has a built-in tiny microphone & vibration sensor which lets it to only activate the spray stimulation once it detects your dog’s barking sound and the vibration from his vocal cords as he goes on a barking spree.

Suits Small to Large Dogs

This PetSafe Spray Bark Collar is effective and safe for most dog breeds and sizes.

However, it may be too bulky for dogs below 3.6 kilograms.

We recommend it to dogs weighing from10 kilograms and up.

Battery & Spray Status Light Indicators

The battery & spray light indicators help you make sure you don’t run out of sprays in the refill cartridge and power in the battery - so your dog gets consistently trained to stop the nuisance barking.

Is the PetSafe Rechargeable Citronella Spray Bark Collar Harmful to Dogs?

No, it is not. Citronella is a plant-based natural oil that can also repel insects such as mosquitoes. The smell may be strong and bit unpleasant but it is totally harmless to dogs.

Plus, most dog-owners say that they prefer the smell of the spray than their dogs’ body odour.

Also, the ASPCA states that Citronella bark collars do not have enough toxicity to harm canines. Generally, these spray bark collars, such as the PetSafe rechargeable Citronella Bark Collar, contain a minimal amount of oil and are identified as safe for dogs.

Does the PetSafe Rechargeable Citronella Anti-Bark Collar Stop Dogs from Barking?

Yes, it does. This goes to other PetSafe Citronella spray bark collars as well. As a matter of fact, a bark collar study at Cornell University proved that Citronella spray anti-bark collars are just as effective as static “shock” bark collars when it comes to stopping dogs nuisance barking.

Also, dog-owners who participated in the case study preferred the spray bark collars over the electric anti-bark collars because of the presumably ‘painful’ stimulation the static collars bring.

So, the PetSafe Citronella spray bark collar detects your dog’s bark sound and the vibration through their vocal cords whenever he goes on a barking episode - this activates the stimulation (sound of the bursting spray, the mist, and the smell of Citronella) which distracts your dog from excessive barking.
