Expert Answer

Dogs are afraid of smells from products such as medicated balm, paint, orange and tangerine peel, tobacco, perfume, toilet water, disinfectant, and scallions and onions. A dog’s sense of smell is extremely keen, and it is very sensitive to these pungent odors. Once exposed, the dog may keep sneezing and can even develop nasal congestion, bloody sneezes, and watery eyes. Therefore, owners should minimize harm from pungent smells and avoid using toilet water or medicated balm with strong odors at home.
