Additionally, they can probably smell oxytocin from your skin. I've read numerous stories of dogs smelling everything from heart attacks to diabetes to cancer to seizures. So the idea they can't smell certain hormones or pheromones seems ... unlikely.

Mine can smell CGRP and other inflammatory peptides because he'll sniff and then lick my face when I have a migraine, repeatedly, exactly where the affected facial nerves are.
