It is common to see dogs sniffing the genitalia of another dog. We are not surprised by their animal behavior, since, by means of that act, in which the dog smells the pheromones of the other canid, the animal obtains information from that other dog, if it is in heat or if it is aggressive.

But why do not you sniff other parts of the body? Because these animals have a high concentration of sweat apocrine glands in their sexual organs; therefore, when it captures the smell that the genitals of another dog give off, what it does is establish a natural and biological social relationship of recognition with the other canid.

Dogs are able to sniff out diseases in humans

The same thing happens with us. They like to smell us because, in this way, they recognize us, because they want to communicate with us in their own way, because thanks to this behavior, the animal knows whether we are well or not.

In fact, it is known that dogs are able to sniff out organic compounds that causes cancer of the colon, prostate or lung, for example. Therefore, there are specialized units in the detection of these diseases that already work with dogs.

Humans also release pheromones.

Therefore, it is natural that these animals also want to sniff us constantly. What we may find most striking is that they especially like to smell the crotch area. But this also has its explanation. We also release pheromones.

Our glands are located throughout the body, but we have two areas where their concentration is greater: the armpits and the genitals. For this reason, the canids are close to smell this area, because they recognize us, because they interact with us, and because in this way they get information about our state.

So much so that, if we are with the period or ovulating, or have just had sex, dogs will notice and will approach with more curiosity if possible. They will also have the desire to sniff us if we have recently given birth, or if we are breastfeeding. Animals have a special sense capable of recognizing those natural states of our body.

Given this, we can do nothing, except leave him alone to conclude his recognition. Although it can be embarrassing to us, for dogs it is a completely natural behavior that is within their own DNA, it is their way of relating to those around them. For that reason, we have only to have patience and act normally before situations of that type.
