One of the most developed senses in a dog is its sense of smell. It helps to recognize places and navigate in space.
Dogs have a better sense of smell than humans, so when they detect unpleasant odors, they react immediately.
What smells are unpleasant for a pet? Let's consider them in more detail.
Pepper
The smell of hot, black or cayenne pepper is unpleasant to dogs.
Strong odors can have a negative effect on your pet's receptors.
Cigarettes and tobacco
When smoke gets into the respiratory tract, it causes prolonged sneezing in dogs. It disrupts the animal's sense of smell.
Alcohol and the smell of fumes
It is not without reason that many dogs do not like drunk people. Even at a beloved owner, a drunk dog can growl or even bite. In addition, dogs are irritated by the uncoordinated movements of drunk people.
Oranges and lemons
Citrus scents have a pleasant aroma for humans, but they can cause stress in animals.
Other smells
Dogs also don’t like the smell of fragrances, household chemicals, and vinegar.
Now you know what you shouldn't let your pet sniff.
