Oh yes, animals have a very keen sense of smell and they can sense things that humans cannot.

Yes, Discovery Channel had a show about these sensitive animals.

There are animals who are sensitive to the inset of a seizure and are now trained to alert their owners to stop whatever they are doing and lie down in a safe area. The dogs then stay beside the owner.

There are also stories of pets who alerted the owners of their condition long before the illness were even diagnosed.

i say yes they can smell when my husband died of cancer my dog kept licking his hand

pets have the uncanny ability to know when were not feeling well or distressed.

yes, i have psoriasis and when i get breakouts my dog always insists on licking the rash because he's trying to make it better.

if i'm ever sick he always lays down on my stomach or up next to my head or even on my feet. he's trying to keep me warm.

Dogs can smell cancer.

Yes, I believe they can because I always hear stories about things like that happening.
