Dog owners at home roughly know what dogs like to eat and play with, and gradually learn about it during the raising process. But how many owners really know which things dogs hate?

Which things do dogs hate the most, do you know?

First is spicy food. Many owners like to feed their Shiba Inu various kinds of food, but some foods that taste good to us humans are not suitable for Shiba Inu. For example, durian, which many people love to eat, has a strong stinky smell that dogs simply cannot tolerate. Also, fruits like oranges and tangerines, which taste sweet and sour to us, have a particularly stimulating smell to the Shiba Inu, so they really hate such odors.

Next are strong-smelling seasonings. In our daily life, there are many seasonings with strong smells, such as chili powder or pepper powder, which we humans find delicious, but if added to the Shiba Inu's meal, the dog will start to sneeze continuously upon smelling it and may even become frantic, running and jumping everywhere. This shows that the Shiba Inu’s sense of smell is hurt by these odors.

Lastly is the smell of mint. Many owners like to use mint to refresh and awaken their minds in summer, especially office workers who sit for long periods and easily get sleepy at work. They often use mint cooling balm or products for stimulation. But while humans like this smell, dogs tend to hate it. The scent is rather pungent and difficult for dogs to accept.
