Fun Fact Friday!
A dog’s sense of smell is so powerful that they can separate and identify different scent components in the same environment rather than experiencing one blended smell the way humans often do.
Their noses also help them gather information about other animals, food, people, and changes in their surroundings, which is why sniffing is an important form of mental enrichment. On your next walk, give your dog a little extra time to investigate safe scents—it can make an ordinary outing much more stimulating.
