Pets need both physical and mental exercise, just like people. The sense of smell of animals helps them to know the world around them.
The importance of walking
For dogs, even small breeds, outdoor walks are important, unlike cats.
Thus, the animal releases some of the energy.
In addition, outdoor walks allow dogs to use their natural instincts.
Dogs use their sense of smell to learn about the world around them.
While a person for the most part uses vision for this purpose.
How is the sense of smell in dogs
A dog's nose works nearly 10 times harder than a human's.
The olfactory system of dogs is more complex than that of humans.
There is an olfactory recess in the pet's nose, which helps to process information around.
Every day, a single odor enters the chambers of the olfactory cavity in turn.
Therefore, dogs are able to calculate individual smells among the whole bouquet of aromas on the street.
Your pet may smell cheese on leftover pizza in the trash or another dog that has been around recently.
How to walk your dog correctly
Allow enough time for your walk so that your dog can sniff out the world around him.
Choose clean forests and parks for walking with your dog. It is a safe and interesting place for dogs.
Sniffing is a natural and important instinct of a dog.
