2. Reason for the smell:

The taste and smell of celery may not be suitable for dogs. Dogs’ senses of smell and taste are very sensitive, and they may reject food they don’t like and even affect their appetite.

Celery contains certain vitamins and minerals. Although these nutrients are beneficial to the health of dogs, excessive intake will also cause harmful effects to dogs. A burden on the dog's kidneys and liver. Dogs' kidneys and livers are relatively weak and cannot effectively process large amounts of vitamins and minerals. Long-term consumption of large amounts of celery may cause damage to these organs.
