It is well known that a dog's sense of smell is one of its strongest points.
An impeccable sense of smell allows some animals to work in law enforcement agencies, as they can easily smell illegal substances.
There is also evidence that dogs can literally "smell" certain diseases, as humans emit a specific odor.
But some scents are unpleasant for dogs.
What can be attributed to this?
Any chemicals with a strong smell will be unpleasant for your pet. Even a person will wince if they decide to sniff them. But dogs have a much more developed sense of smell, experts remind us.
Animals do not like the smell of alcoholic drinks: this is one of the reasons why dogs are sometimes aggressive towards drunk people.
Some dogs also really dislike the smell of cigarettes.
Sometimes dogs don’t like the smell of cosmetics, especially if it is strong and persistent.
By the way, many types of paint also irritate dogs. For example, they may bark at postmen just because they smell of the paint used in printing.
