(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

On July 23, 2016 the owner noticed the dog had developed symptoms. On July 25, 2016 the owner removed the collar and bathed the dog (dog shampoo). On July 26, 2016 the symptoms ended and the dog had fully recovered. On August 1, 2016 the owner called the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS). On August 4, 2016, the APSS technician called the owner back to finish the case. The APSS technician noted signs were likely related to the strong odor of the collar coming straight out of the package and further suggested if using again or a different collar in the future, may want to let it air out for 24 hours before applying it to the dog.
