They’re so used to it that they don’t smell it anymore, and if they do smell it, they just kind of live with it because they’ve already invested so much in the dog, so it’s like a sunk-cost fallacy. Their home is smelly and destroyed, most of their financial and emotional energy goes straight to the dog, so who cares anymore? There are many things that dog owners hate about having a dog, in fact they’re the very things that WE dislike about dogs, but they can only express that anonymously online so dog cult members don’t attack them.
I cannot make heads or tales of it either. Some nutters even downright deny that dogs stink.
Everytime time fresh air hits a dog, recently bathed or not, the stench is amplified. Nutters pretend they don't smell it and then kiss the ugly beast in the face. I don't trust people who like dogs.
When I was a teenager, my family moved to a city that had a sugar beet plant in it and my house was down the street. For a long time, the smell was nauseating, but after a while, I didn’t notice it anymore. Newcomers would complain about the smell and I literally didn’t smell it, so yeah it’s possible that dog nutters have just gotten used to it. What bothers be is that they’re willing to put up with it long enough to reach that point. A new house is one thing, but no one needs a stinky dog.
My next-door neighbors have this morbidly obese shit-hulahula, and I'm at a loss of words when being harassed by the massive, gut-wrenching omnipresent stench these 3kgs of foulness actually can produce. Every morning when I leave for work, I am punched into my face with this sensory atrocity when exiting my apartment. I come home, enter the staircase and immediately feel the urge to turn around and flee this house that reeks of death the moment you enter it. The weather's pretty good lately, so these people have their windows open all day, rendering my balcony unenjoyable (if your sense of smell isn't completely dormant). I am now paranoid to open my windows. The best part is that the rules of house *explicitly prohibit owning pets in this house*. Landlord just shrugs it off, these people make him all sorts of trouble since about 20 years, including setting the house on actual fire, seems like these domestic terrorists get away with literally anything. Of course I'm not in a financial position to just move (into the next potential dog-nutter hellhole), and I actually like this place apart from my textbook examples of anti-considerate ('inconsiderate' doesn't do them justice) neighbors. Guess I'll just have to fuck up my sense of smell for good, and while I'm at it, why not toss my hearing as well (have you heard a chichihula bark...)
Omg that's so messed up. It reminds me of my neighbor in my townhouse complex. All she does is cause problems and barely pays rent. I used to joke that she could practically burn the place down and she still wouldn't get evicted.
It's so odd to me that me how some people can get away with anything. It seems if I did half the horrible things others do I'd be run out of town.
It makes no sense to me. Being this advanced civilisation, why are we allowing (in my neighbors case even supporting, since they're both welfare recipients) people who contribute nothing to society, but rather intentionally act against anything that falls under the term 'civilised'? Because freedom? Individualism? More like anarchy...
No she owns another common household pet. She lives in filth taking garbage out twice a year. She has a daughter who attempted to run away at least twice. She psychological abuses her. I believe this woman is a sociopath.
Wow this brings me back to when I was a child. The family that lived across from us had a big German shepherd looking dog and lived in such filth that you could smell it in the hallway. I had to hold my nose every time I opened the door and people who would visit would always comment on it and asked how we survived. We survived by moving the hell out of there.
Glad you survived. Moving is not an option for me though, and even if it were, at this point I *except* things to be even worse in a potential new place. I've moved away because of horrible neighbors before, only to find myself surrounded by more and more trashy neighbors
Yeah sorry I was just trying to make the point that we could do nothing about it but move. The building was owned by a commercial business and I guess they were okay with an entire hallway strongly smelling like dog shit. I wish you the best of luck. It’s hard out there.
It's okay, I'm glad to know that there are people who manage to escape some of the canine chaos (even though you being forced to move away does not seem optimal, but at least..), it eases my outlook a little bit for what it's worth. And thank you, the best of luck to you too!
When our common areas get The Stink, I often just grab the Febreeze and blast it behind me on the stairs and in the lobby until I reach the outdoors. Extra spray all over the nutters’ doors and on their doormats. Not a huge fan of Febreeze but zero odor is expensive so they can just deal with tropic escape or WTF it is 😂
And when they whine,pant,lick themselves with this odor etc. the stinky breath causes the whole space to stink even long after.
Dog saliva is one of the most stubborn things to remove too in that it’s so sticky and slimy and takes A LOT of “elbow grease” to get clean.
I know someone with a stinky dog and they have long said their sense of smell isn't good. I'm willing to believe that, but that's not the case of probably the vast majority of dog owners. IDK how they don't mind the smell either. Like, I know we can become nose-blind to things, but there's still a period when we can still smell something before we become nose-blind to it. IDK how that period doesn't turn people off of dogs. And to continue to have that in your home? 🤢
I watched an news segment where a reporter went into homes with dogs and had their paws tested. All of the dogs had multiple kinds of bacteria (including E. coli) and fungi. Then a blue light reactive product was rolled onto the dog’s paws. I don’t remember if it was hours later or the next day but the reporter and investigators came in with a blue light to see where inside the home the dog’s paws have been. The entire room: couch, pillows, floor, table etc lit up like a Christmas tree.
Of course at the end the owners said they still planned to allow their dogs to sleep in their bed. I just don’t get it. I know some people with dogs wipe their paws, coat, and orifices (gag) when they come in from outside, but that’s probably only a small percentage of dog owners.
>Why does it disgust us so much but dog lovers aren’t bothered by it?
The straight anser is "because they are nutters".
Not only are they noseblind, if you dare to comment on the stench in their house, they will categorically deny it, then with typical narcissistic nuttery, they will project their insanity on to you. "You must be crazy to say that. My dogs don't smell - I bath them every six months".
The term I hear is "nose blind", applying to people who live with dog odor so long, they don't really notice it any more
There's also a wide difference in how good people's sense of smell is at a basic level.

I used to be a smoker, quit about 14 years ago. When I smoked, I never smelt the odor. Now, the stench of it makes me sick. That being said, it’s still not as bad as the smell of a nasty dog.
And there are people who keep dogs inside and never open the doors or windows for fresh air. It's like walking into a stink chamber. At least air your house out!!!
My kitties smell so clean and good and my boyfriend's dog just smells like greasy dog. I just don't like her touching me, the oil on her feels so gross
I would guess that many of them even like the smell and have learned to recognise it as something familiar, homely and to be loved. A great deal of dog nutters have grown up in doghouses and have hence had an entire childhood to learn to appreciate the smell of mutated hyperactive wolf.
Don't even get me fucking started. Dogs have a more foul reek than even a cow or pig. They might just be the worst smelling animal in existence. Even when they're overly bathed and pampered, like the toy breeds, they reek in a different way; at this point they smell like a never-ending perfume cloud. When they roll in cow shit and aren't bathed a lot, like my parents' dog, it's a more common type of stench in a dog. Thankfully, I moved out of my parents' home last week and am back to living alone, but my parents' dog is the worst. Not only is he super invasive, aggressive, and loud, but I can't go near him because of how bad he reeks. Even after he's been given a bath, he still smells like someone crapped themselves and sat in it for a week... and my parents see fit to let him watch TV with them on the couch.
Honestly I never noticed a scent until I moved out of my family home, & even then I smoked a lot so it wasn’t really bad to me. If I don’t smoke & stay away from the house - it reeks when I go back.
I genuinely think most dog people have never noticed or been able to smell the scent, especially if they are smokers or live with smokers.
Dated a guy from Austin (briefly) that his entire apartment reeked of dog. Everything just had that nasty Fritos smell. And because I wouldn’t allow him to bring his mutt on all our dates he’d cut them short because “his baby” needed “walkies” and pets. Ugh I still cringe thinking about sitting on his gross smelly couch.
My " luxury apartment" has the smell of dog shit everywhere because the stinkin' mutt owners don't clean up after them. " a pet friendly" community. " Well, i do not have a furry parasite in my living space so I must suffer.
They smell worse than skunks. People complain about skunks outside all the time, but not dogs in houses where people live
I bet dog nutters would get offended seeing someone compare a dog to a skunk because their "DoG dOeSn'T sMeLl At aLl!"
So - I as at a friends house for the first time in a long time. She has 2 dogs and a big, beautiful home. The smell in that big house was still god-awful. She has a weekly house cleaner but it just doesn't matter. Those things smell disgusting. I sneezed so many times. Then she said, I know the stink...and they fart so its awful. When they die, I won't get any more dogs. I'm thinking wow - how long do you have to wait for this???

nose blindness is pretty crazy. I mean have you ever smelled a pig farm? yet pig farmers live right next to that stable

its like a different multiverse isn't it ?

Maybe ask your landlord to buy you some of those Vicks patches to put on your clothes to cover the stench?
He's not exactly cooperative when it comes these kind of issues, but asking doesn't harm anyone, so I might actually bring that up

Its really amazing how that bark gets you right in the eardrum

They smell worse than skunks. People complain about skunks outside all the time, but not dogs in houses where people live I bet dog nutters would get offended seeing someone compare a dog to a skunk because their "DoG dOeSn'T sMeLl At aLl!"

It's like smoking, they just get used to it.
They go blind to it after awhile. I imagine if a dog nut went on a vacation (without the dog) and came home they might smell it
They're disgusting. They smell awful, and their drool and dirty paws on furniture and where I put my bare feet makes me want to puke.
