#12 Importance of Consistent Scents for Dogs

Dogs experience the world predominantly through their sense of smell. With over 100 million sensory receptors, compared to humans' 6 million, dogs have an incredibly acute sense of smell. Regular changes in a pet parent's scent can confuse and disorientate dogs.

They might struggle to recognize their owners if the scent changes frequently, potentially mistaking them for strangers. To maintain a sense of familiarity and comfort for your dog, it's advisable to stick to a consistent personal scent or perfume.
