Why do Dogs Sniff Other Dogs' ...

Dogs sniffing each other’s rear ends might seem odd to us, but in the dog world, it’s a totally normal way of saying hello! This behavior is their version of a handshake or a quick bio check. Through their powerful noses, dogs can pick up all sorts of details about each other—age, gender, mood, and even health.

The scent glands near a dog’s rear hold a ton of information, and a quick sniff tells them everything they need to know. For unneutered or unspayed dogs, it’s also a way to learn about reproductive status. Beyond that, it helps dogs bond and establish trust in their social circles.

So, the next time you see dogs getting to know each other this way, just remember—it’s their natural, efficient way to connect. A little odd for us, maybe, but for them? It’s totally normal and super important!
