What smells dogs can't stand: what you shouldn't let them sniff

Dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell.

They perceive smells tens of times stronger than humans.

However, there are fragrances that can be dangerous for pets.

Essential oils

Some products and cosmetics may contain various essential oils.

However, they should be used with great care in a home where there are pets.

In particular, this concerns clove essential oil. It can be toxic to pets.

Fruits and citrus

Citrus aromas should be used with caution.

They are not recommended for use if there are dogs in the house that are prone to allergies.

After all, these smells can cause an unpleasant reaction in the animal.

Pepper and some spices

Dogs cannot stand the smell of pepper. Chili peppers are especially dangerous for animals.

It can have a negative effect on the condition of their olfactory receptors.

In addition, pets do not like the aromas of vanilla and cinnamon.

Household chemicals

You also need to be careful when renovating an apartment with dogs.

The smells of paint, solvent, varnish and other products can have a negative effect on animals.

The same applies to household chemicals, including those containing chlorine and alcohol.
