| Three Fun Facts About Your Pups Nose | | | | Dogs are great – they provide us with love, companionship and are always there when we need them. Everyone knows that dogs and cats have great noses. But we bet you didn't know by how much.
Just like how we use social media to keep up to date with our friends from high school (and maybe even our ex-partners), dogs use their noses to do the same exact thing.
Below, we outline some pretty cool fun facts that you can show-off at your next gathering! | | | | Fact #1: A dog's sense of smell is 40x better than ours! | | | | The area of cells in the brain that detect different smells is around 40 times larger in dogs than in humans. This means that your dog can pick up on way more smells than we ever could. This is why dogs are often used to sniff out people, drugs and even money! | | | | Fact #2: Some dogs can sniff out medical problems! | | | | Yup, medical detection dogs are a thing. Because their sense of smell is so great, some dogs can be trained to sniff out medical conditions. They are used to diagnose a particular condition or to alert their owners if they need more medication. Some are even being trained to sniff out various precursors of cancer!
One of these incredible dogs is the Medical Detection Dog, Pal (pictured below), who was awarded the PDSA Order of Merit. Pal played a vital role in diabetic owner Claire's life by alerting her of changes in her blood sugar. If not caught in time, these changes could have killed her.

Their noses are designed so smells can stay in their nose while air can move in and out of their lungs at the same time, which means they can breathe freely and still work out what that smell is! | | | | Want to Learn Other Cool Fun Facts About Your Pup? | | | | We invite you to visit our blog!
