The Bloodhound is the acknowledged king of scent. The reason (supposedly) lies in its large number of olfactory receptors distributed in the olfactory epithelium along the intricate, maze-like scrolls of nasal turbinates. The Bloodhound’s deep muzzle has more room for more scrolling, and thus, more olfactory receptors. Each receptor sends its signal along a long nerve through a bony plate called the cribiform plate, and then to the olfactory bulb of the brain. It’s not practical to measure the surface area of the olfactory epithelium, but you can get a good estimate of the number of nerve cells by looking at how large the cribriform plate is. It turns out that cribriform plate size correlates very nicely with a species’ sense of smell.
Allergic disease in both humans and canines is increasing worldwide. Theories explaining the rise in allergic disease include genetic and environmental factors. Reports of dogs and their human owners being allergic to the same indoor allergens emphasizes the importance of environmental allergens. In canines, allergic disease is largely limited to skin manifestations including atopic dermatitis (AD). In humans, allergy frequently presents as runny, itchy, watery eyes and nose, sneezing, cough, wheezing, hives, and/or itchy, dry skin.
