If you only smell alcohol for a short time, it is generally not harmful to dogs. Since alcohol itself has a rather pungent smell, and dogs contain a large number of olfactory cells in their nasal cavity, dogs are very sensitive to the smell of alcohol. If your dog smells alcohol for a long time, the alcohol will irritate the dog's nasal cavity and cause damage to the nasal mucosa. Some dogs will sneeze or even faint when they smell alcohol. In addition to alcohol, other pungent odors are also harmful to dogs, such as the smell of citrus and other fruits when they are peeled.
