PLOS ONE (2022) 17(11), e0277607

This study reveals key differences in bitter taste sensitivity between domestic dogs and humans. The findings show that canine bitter taste receptors respond differently to specific compounds, including denatonium benzoate, providing insights into bitter taste perception and the effectiveness of bitter deterrents in dogs.
