Idk very many people who like the smell of dogs tbh.
There’s the smell of dogs, then there’s the smell of infrequently bathed dogs.
Cats and dogs are very much the same in that non-owners usually can walk into an owner’s house and know there’s a cat or dog there. It’s, not necessarily a bad smell, buts there.
The same way that I can tell if a specific coworker was hoteling in the office. She gets her perfume from Claire’s (yes, the same strawberry-bliss or whatever it’s called from middle school…).
Infrequently bathed dogs, however is another story.
I think you may be biased by your ownership? Breed and genetics play a huge role here. Huskies, for instance, require very little bathing. In fact, with many dogs over-bathing is bad for their skin and can lead to worse smells when they are not bathed due to the removal of oils.
I don’t own either atm.
I’m not at a place where I can give pets the full attention they deserve. I do love both.
A well cared for dog is going to not smell awful, same as a well cared cat. On the other hand, there is a smell all the same.
Btw, a poorly cared for cat is going to reek something fierce. They might take care of themselves better, but if they don’t have what they need, (a clean living environment, including the litter box,) they’re going to have problems.
Drag likes the smell of dogs. It smells like warm soft friendship.
You get used to it pretty quickly
Maybe you do, I sat in that smell every day of that fucker’s life.
I’d choose my dogs’ scent over the scent of most humans that I’ve met.
I’ve never had a smelly dog. I usually have spaniels and they smell pretty neutral. But I’ve encountered some pretty musky dogs or breeds.
Spaniels can smell nasty if you live in a cold wet climate. They love rubbing themselves in the woods to go into contra hunting mode, smelling like the dead.
Dogs that shed naturally smell less because they keep getting rid of the body oils. Again, doesn’t work if they like finding wet spots to relax.
My biggest issue was the ear smell cause they are susceptible to ear infections
It’s because Rigby loves the smell of your dad.
Classic Rigby
Don’t you mean the dad is sitting on the dogs snooze spot
If not for ribgy why is it a perfect fit for rigby? Checkmate.
Tbh I don’t care much for the smell of dogs or cats either, but that doesn’t stop them from sleeping on my PJ’s or curling up with my socks. No human can compare to the unconditional love given by a pet.
I’ve always known a fair number of dog owners and have met 3 or 4 dogs named Rigby. Seems weird that it’s not on the AKC’s top 10 male dog names, or even this list of top 100. The AKC’s #1 name is Milo, and I have yet to meet one. That’s all. The end.
Wasn’t our idea.The rescue guys named him. The name has grown on me since we’ve had him tho 🙆♀️
Probably all those fart molecules imbedded into the cushion.
Reminds me of an early 2000s rumor, believed by many, that black people secretly thought white people smelled like wet dog.
