Do dogs have a better sense of smell than cats?
A domestic cat can smell with roughly 200 million smell-sensitive receptors (humans have 5 million). A domestic dog can range from as low, in comparison, as 125 million to as high as 220 million depending on the breed. Scenthounds receptors are obviously on the higher end of the scale. On an average the cat can smell better than the dog but the specific winner goes to the Dog breed of Bloodhound, which can have as many as 300 million. This makes them a clear winner in breed but not in genus.
