Among the many cute pets, the most popular ones must be dogs. Most dogs are docile, humane, and have a very sensitive sense of smell. So do all dogs have the same sense of smell? What is the typical range of a dog's sense of smell? Many friends will be curious about this, so let us take a look today~
Normal dogs can smell the smell within a range of 200-500 meters around them, but if it is in a special stage, such as a dog after estrus, then the sense of smell will be wider, and the smell can be smelled within a range of one to two miles. Also like shepherds or hounds, the range of their sense of smell will be wider than that of other dogs as adults.
If a dog’s sense of smell is intact, it can even smell things buried 10 meters underground. Dogs can track specific scents, not just of their owners, but of themselves and other pets as well. A trained dog can smell smells up to 500 meters away and can distinguish more than 100,000 different odors. Therefore, having a sensitive sense of smell also means that dogs have a heavier responsibility. Working dogs such as search and rescue dogs and drug detection dogs, after training, they respond particularly strongly to specific odors and are dedicated to sniffing out abnormalities in the human body. Studies have confirmed that dogs can smell changes in the human body through their own sense of smell.
It can be seen from this that dogs of different breeds actually have certain differences in their sense of smell, and the range of their sense of smell is also uneven. What do pet owners think of their dogs' sense of smell?
