Have you ever wondered why your dog seems to be afraid of certain smells? Maybe you've even noticed your dog making a face when you put on a certain perfume or cologne.
Legend has it that a dog’s sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times better than ours. And while that may be somewhat of an exaggeration, it’s no secret that dogs have a much keener sense of smell than we do. For this reason, there are certain smells that dogs hate.
Intro - 00:00
In this video, we'll explore some of the most common smells that dogs hate and explain why they react this way. - 00:00
#1 Ground Spices - 00:32
It's a well-known fact that dogs hate the taste of ground spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, mustard, ginger, cardamom, and cayenne pepper. In fact, they find the taste so offensive that they will usually avoid anything that contains them. This is because the odour of ground spices is very strong and highly concentrated, which dogs find to be very overwhelming.
If you're looking to keep your dog away from something, ground spices are a good way to do it. Just be sure to keep them out of reach, as dogs can be resourceful when they're motivated by something!
#2 Mothballs - 01:06
Dogs hate the smell of mothballs because they contain very strong-smelling chemicals. This is because mothballs are made of naphthalene or camphor, which are substances that are poisonous to dogs. In fact, they are so poisonous that just a few mothballs can kill a small dog.
So, if you're planning on using mothballs to store your clothes or belongings, you should be aware of the risks. Not only could your dog get sick from them, but they could also die.
#3 Alcohol - 01:34
It's no secret that dogs don't like the smell of alcohol. In fact, most dogs will go to great lengths to avoid it. But why do dogs find alcohol so offensive? Dogs' noses are incredibly sensitive, and they can pick up alcohol molecules at tiny concentrations. When they smell something as strong as alcohol, it's likely that they find it overpowering and unpleasant.
So, if you're planning on enjoying a drink or two around your dog, be sure to do so in a well-ventilated area!
#4 Onions and garlic - 02:05
Onions and garlic are popular ingredients in many dishes, but they are not so popular with dogs. The strong smell of onions and garlic can be offensive to a dog's sensitive nose and eating them can actually be dangerous for dogs. Onions and garlic contain a compound called thiosulfate, which dogs cannot properly digest, and causes damage to red blood cells and anaemia.
So, if you're cooking with onions or garlic, be sure to keep your furry friend away from the kitchen.
#5 Chlorine and cleaning products - 02:36
It's well-known that dogs do not enjoy the smell of chlorine and most cleaning products. Cleaning products can contain chemicals that are toxic to dogs and can cause skin irritations and respiratory problems. In fact, the fumes from cleaning products can irritate a dog's nose and cause them great discomfort.
So, if you're looking to create a home that's comfortable for both you and your dog, you may want to stick to natural cleaning products or ones with a milder scent specifically designed for use around dogs.
#6 Citrus Fruits - 03:07
Most dog owners know that their fury friends hate the taste of citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits. Citrus fruits contain a compound called limonene, which is a natural repellent for dogs. Limonene is also found in cleaning products and other items that dogs dislike. This compound is thought to be the reason behind dogs' aversion to citrus fruits.
So, if your dog turns up his nose at your lemonade or grapefruit, don't take it personally. It's just his way of telling you that he doesn't like the taste of citrus fruits.
#7 Vinegar - 03:42
It is a common belief that dogs hate the smell of vinegar. Vinegar is an acetic acid, which gives it a sharp, pungent scent. Dogs have a much better sense of smell than humans, and the strong smell of vinegar can be off-putting to them.
So, if you're looking to keep your dog away from something, vinegar is not the best option. However, if you're looking for a natural cleaning product that won't harm your dog, vinegar is a great choice. Be sure to keep your dog out of the area until the vinegar smell has dissipated.
