I think this is a pretty unfair thread. ;| Dogs and cats are of different species so of course they are going to smell differently. Of course, this doesn't mean dogs smell BAD.



I'm not sure about you cat people but I love burying my nose into one of my dogs and getting a wiff or two. Of course, my dogs are fed a wonderful diet and are bathed weekly.

The Rottie pup probably has had urine, saliva, etc. from her littermates at the breeder. Also, the dog's diet has a lot to play on her smell. She may not have been fed the most quality food.

Smells also depend on breed. Siberian Huskies, for example, can go months without getting bath and smell perfectly fine. Other breeds have different oils in their fur that may smell different to you everyday people.

I have three dogs and have had people walk in my home and never realize that we had dogs. We don't vaccum everyday, probably only weekly - We don't spray anything, etc.
