Lecture Notes

Some dogs have longer ears, which may also play a role in helping to funnel scent molecules into the nose.

And like cats, dogs certainly use the sniff mechanism for maximum detection of odors.

They also have a nasal pocket that permits odor molecules to accumulate and interact with olfactory receptors.
