Is your dog interested in the smell of your breath?

[Rua]

I know that's a weird question, but I'm really curious to know. Juno has started taking a great interest in the smell of my breath. If I'm down at her level, giving her loves, she will very keenly smell at my mouth. Not in a gross way, mind you. And it's not because I've just eaten something she wants. I'm not sure whether to be offended or intrigued. ha!

I've heard dogs can sometimes detect illness in their owners by smelling their breath. But I just wondered if there would be any other reason for this. Is it some sort of dog language thing?

Ruger does this too me. I hope he isn't detecting something. I have enough problems as it is.

My Daisy did. She also would in a sense alert if I had an insulin reaction. However she ate a partial denture I have so. Twice. Once during an insulin reation. I think your breath is the ultimate in your scent.Lucky no.

my dog smells my breath only if I eat something delicious. Also dogs are always curious about smells, weather its sickness or not, so don't panic

Stella does like to smell my breath. But she prefers sniffing other body parts more
