Do your yorks hate the smell of mint? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

capt_noonie · 11-17-2012, 08:53 PM

Uni hates it. She won't give us any kisses after brushing our teeth or Listerine-ing, putting on Burt's Bees lip balm with mint (but will with Burt's Bees without mint), won't take bites of fresh mint, but will take almost any other herb. I think there is a bit of "vapor" that comes off of mint, either fresh or in a product. Maybe it burns her mucous membranes?

Does your yorkie like mint or abhor it? She didn't like mint breath tabs or mint toothpaste either. It's CET chicken flavor all the way.

I've never tried giving Joel mint but he does try and lick my mouth after I use minty tooth paste, so i'm sure he would like mint

capt_noonie · 11-17-2012, 09:02 PM

Really? All my fosters would NOT give me kisses after I brushed my teeth or put on Burt's Bees! Strange!

ilovejoel · 11-17-2012, 09:06 PM

I guess Joel is a weirdo! LOL

capt_noonie · 11-17-2012, 09:17 PM

I'm sure then he must have a more refined palate than mine does.

Well I got mine the dog dental floss toy with the mint spray today first he bit it stuck out his tongue and ran to our hallway rug and started dragging his tongue on it then rubbing his face doing flips and rolling over after that he with back to the toy and has not stopped chewing on it.... Sooo not sure what that means on his feelings about mint.

Maybe mint is his cat nip? or should I say anise? according to another thread? LOL

It might give him the high effect like anise but does not help with the gas part, he still is doing one of his favorite tricks tonight. Stand on the sofa arm act like he is going to give you a puppy kiss and when you lean in and he turns around and let's one go in your face then runs off... Did I mention lately how sneaky and evil he is??

Hahahahhahahhahahhahahahaha!!

I have this stuff called miracle, its like icy/hot. Anyways, when I put that on my feet Joey will walk over, smell me and then run and hide under the covers lol

Maximo · 11-18-2012, 06:53 AM

My guys like to sniff my mouth when I have used something minty, but then they run and mash their faces in the carpet or their beds. They don't like anything with a strong scent -- except grandpa's aftershave.

Harrysmum · 11-18-2012, 07:14 AM

Aha!

So I've just done a little test.....went and brushed my teeth after lunch, then went and breathed in Harry's face.....I think he likes it, he was trying to lick the 'puff' and then my mouth

Tibbe is not very fond of mint smells either. Vanilla-smelling things he loves but not minty things.

Cherie6446 · 11-18-2012, 07:48 AM

I have a mint bush growing and Zoey goes out and chews on the leaves. Whenever I see her doing this I make her stop thinking that the mint might be dangerous. So far, no problem.

LunasMomma · 11-18-2012, 04:36 PM

My girls hate the smell of mint, they will turn their heads or run away after I brush my teeth

I always say that they like rotten smelling stuff
