If a dog is sniffing your genital area, it doesn’t necessarily mean anything specific about your health. Dogs rely heavily on their sense of smell to gather information, and the genital area has strong natural scents due to sweat glands, pheromones, and hormones.
However, dogs may be more interested in certain people if:
- You recently exercised or are sweating.
- You’re on your period, pregnant, or experiencing hormonal changes.
- You have residual scents from soaps, lotions, or other products.
- You have an infection or a medical condition that alters your body odor.
In most cases, it’s just natural canine behavior and not a cause for concern!
