Go on. Give your dog a sniff and tell me they don’t. I could sniff my dog for hours!

Well my cocker spaniel has chronic ear infections. His ears are RANK.

Mine alternately smells like mini chedders and doritos

Chosennone · 21/05/2020 23:19

Sounds like a puppy made in Willy Wonkers Chocolate Factory Grin

Mine has digestive vibes.

I always said my dogs paws smelt of basmati rice......but my favourite was when they’d been out and then they smelt of soil and all earthy.....mmmm

JeremyIronsBenFolds · 21/05/2020 23:21

My dog’s lovely feet smell of wotsits, I’ve not tried his inner ears though! His general doggy smell is just gorgeous though, apart from when he’s wet, and it turns into generic ‘wet dog’ . Other than that, could smell him all day...

Yester · 21/05/2020 23:21

I've loss my sense of smell for 2 months now and the dog paw smell is one I'm missing sooooo much.🐾

littlealexhorne · 21/05/2020 23:27

My little dog has cheesy paws, I've never noticed a scent to her inner ears before though! The smell of her tummy when its all warm after a nap though? I don't even know how to describe it but wow its my favourite smell ever

Nonameslob · 22/05/2020 01:00

Cheesy wotsit paws here, lovely soft pink tummy with baby soft fur (she's 10) and when she's warm she smells like basmati rice and I love it! Outside of ears lovely baby powder smell, inside stinky!!

QualityFeet · 22/05/2020 01:02

Ha ha yes to the feet but the dank rank ears of fetid smegma here.

stophuggingme · 22/05/2020 01:03

Popcorn paw pads here
The ears are a bit Confused but to be fair she needs a wash
Still gorgeous though

Dogs are just Star

I can confirm that cats also have lovely biscuity smelling little feet (toebeans). Their stomachs also smell AMAZING when they've been curled up sleeping for a while. I'm not so keen to try the ears though.

Still for me the best animal smell in the world is my horses' muzzles. Grassy and sweet and horsey all at the same time.

ClientQ · 22/05/2020 01:42

@Panticus definitely - the soft bit of the muzzle. My horse was found in the field Sad and I kissed that bit of her to say goodbye

I can imagine all the dogs being "WTF are these humans doing? Stop it now" Smile

InglouriousBasterd · 22/05/2020 01:45

Can also confirm biscuity cat paws here. They’re often stuck in my face for kisses

ElizabethMainwaring · 22/05/2020 01:49

I'm going to brag here.
My ddog is going to the groomers in the morning!!

PipGirl404 · 22/05/2020 01:52

I could sniff my pooches paws for hours. Properly smell like cheesy Doritos but I just love it

AnnaFiveTowns · 22/05/2020 02:02

Yes, paws smell like biscuits - lovely! But the inside of his ears smell revolting.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 22/05/2020 06:09

One of our cats sometimes has little sweaty smelling paws after she's been asleep. You know that really deep sleep where they're sleeping so hard that they get a bit damp on the tucked in bits? God, I love sniffing her then. And the smell of their fur when they come in from outside in winter and they have cold, woodsmokey air clinging to them.

Sniffing pets is awesome.

flibbertmygibbert · 22/05/2020 07:52

Thank you for engaging in this important research. Mine is a spaniel and I see one other spaniel owner has honey ears too. I’m questioning why I sniff the inside of my dogs ears so regularly. She’s like a big, slightly crusty comfort blanket.

My dogs have cheesy feet and puppy smelling ears Smile

AlexCabot · 22/05/2020 08:16

Our groomer isn't opening until mid June but I do have the first available appointment!

He really is the scruffiest dog in the world at the moment but luckily he likes me brushing him and loves a bath. However the spaniel instincts mean that he spends his time in bushes or water which tends to undo my good work.

Bumfuzzled · 22/05/2020 08:20

My cats feet smell like warm, homemade biscuits. I wonder how that is possible as her mouth (which she uses to clean them with) often smells revolting!

BarkandCheese · 22/05/2020 08:23

My dog has popcorn smelling feet, her ears are far too small and fluffy to get a good sniff though. She had a groom on Saturday and smells pretty good right now, she’s got a lovely thick, soft ruff of fur around her neck which is so nice to bury your face in. We’re always picking her up just so we can snuggle her.
