  1. Learn More About Your Dog’s Nose Study your dog for even a few moments, and you’ll quickly realize they use their nose a lot. This essential body part is key to your dog’s behavior, and it’s a fascinating organ. Learn more about your pooch’s nose in this article from vets Aurora, CO. Nose Strength Dogs have up to 300 million or so olfactory receptors in their noses, while humans have about six million. That explains why your dog’s sense of smell is so superior to your own! Smell is actually a dog’s most powerful sense, far above sight and hearing. Not Every Nose is Equal Not every dog is as good at smelling as others. Working dogs, like German Shepherds and Labradors, as well as hound breeds, have the strongest noses. Brachycephalic dogs with short, squashed faces—pugs, Boston terriers, French or English bulldogs, etc.—aren’t quite as adept in the smelling department. Unusual Breathing Pattern Did you know that dogs create a circular airflow when they’re sniffing? They actually inhale and exhale at the same time while tracking a scent. Who knew? Want to learn more about your dog’s sense of smell? Does your pooch need veterinary attention? Contact your veterinary clinic Aurora, CO today.
