I'm sure they do. After eating a really rich meal in a restaurant, got into the car with a couple of friends, it was raining, the windows steamed up, when I wiped the window, the cloth was really greasy and smelled of what we had eaten.
A tip for cleaning window. Water with a drop of vinegar, then wipe dry with newspaper. It's magic!!

What are your windows made of?
Vinyl, metal (steel or aluminum) and glass will not react with and/or absorb odors in the air.
However, improperly sealed wood could.
There a tons of cleaning products available that will take care of your problem... or change brands of dog food.

Absorb? Not usually.
They aren't particularly porous. I guess if it was exposed to the same thing
for years, it might (glass is actually what's called a "slow liquid").
More likely, there is a residue ON THE SURFACE of the glass. You may
be able to just wipe it off.

I don't think they can absorb smell as much as have residue on them that might have an odor i.e. cigarette smoke, oil from cooking etc. Did you get dog food on the window and if so how?
Is it dry or canned food? heh-heh... I can't believe I just asked that.
Have a great day!!!

No, they probably just need a clean. There can be a dirt residue on the glass that could absorb odour, but the glass itself cannot absorb odour.

NO.... Even though glass starts out as liquid, once solid, glass cannot obsorb smells, but, smells can "settle" on glass, in which case you just use windex!

No... it just means you need to clean them more often... as smells linger and settle inside dust and condensation... they're obviously layered with months of cooking smells!

I doubt it. Mix some white vinegar with some warm water and wipe them down with microfiber clothes to wash and dry.

I doubt it. More probable would be the wood around them or the space around them absorbed it.
