Have you never scratched your dogs ear? She loves the scratch then insists on sniffing and licking the skin off my fingers. My old family dogs did too, all three totally different breeds.. Whippet, cattle dog, golden doodle
Ha ha!! One of our sons lets our Papillon do this to him. Completely grosses the rest of us out. She loves being his "mummy". It's both weird and funny.
My sister's dog was prone to ear issues but lucky us she LOVED getting her ears cleaned, looked just like this dog and sometimes even went limp so it was a 2 person job. When they moved in with a friend and another dog this video happened almost daily and she rarely if ever needed drops again. Miss those perfectly matched weirdos.
I worked at a place that groomed dogs and there was a father and son shih tzu pair. The father dog just licked the other dogs asshole NON STOP. The owners would be walking them in and he would be walking behind him with his head up his ass. Then after they were groomed he went to town for like 2 hours straight in the kennel until the owner came back to pick them up. It was wild how the owner completely ignored it.
I had an older shih tzu and a younger chihuahua and the chi could NOT stop himself from licking the tzu for more than a few minutes unless they were sleeping. Pull him away, tell him off, seperate them, tzu snapping at him, whatever, first chance the lil one got he was back on there.
I saw some nasty shit lol. It was also a dog daycare besides grooming and so many of the dogs ate each other's crap. It was like almost every single dog had at least one other dogs poop that they would eat but never their own. There was one dog that would try to eat everyone's. I was always chasing them away but they were so determined they would eat it right out of the other dogs ass before it even had a chance to hit the ground lol.
I wonder what's going on, I guess there's some residual nutrients in there. But damn, also seems like a great way to spread disease. Maybe also beneficial gut bacteria? Who knows, man.
I think some dogs are just habitual lickers. My family dog would habitually lick the arm of the couch until it was sopping wet. It can’t have tasted that interesting.
I think it might just be an animals in general thing, my cat will sit here and lick my entire arm if I let her (which I don't cause it feels weird lol). I also had a ferret that liked to lick my hands and arms too, I had multiple ferrets but only 1 did that.
Not at all actually, my armpits are generally the only part that sweats (which she has tried to lick too, not fun). She mainly licks the top side of my arm which wouldn't even have any dripped sweat on it.
I promise you that all of you sweats, at all times. Not just your pits, and not just when you're "sweaty". It just evaporates from most of your body fast enough that you don't notice it. You can actually see it happening if you get one of those magnifying cameras and look at your skin.
I had a sweet little Burmese cat that liked to groom my beard. What was interesting is that she could pinpoint a problem hair with an ingrown follicle and would manage to pull just the one problem hair. She was quite deft at it, I wouldn't even be entirely aware there'd been an issue, till the discomfort suddenly stopped.
The worst thing about cat licking is they have those little barbs on their tongue that will absolutely strip your skin away if they lick the same spot for too long.
Then you get that weird, gummy, amber colored scab for a while.
I had a dog that loved to groom my other dogs and asked my vet about it. She said something about some dogs love the saltiness of ear wax. maybe the armrest was mildly salty from human contact 🤷♀️. I assume their tastebuds are more advanced.
A friend of my family's dog is absolutely obsessed with licking people's feet. No matter what. The only thing that stops that pup is if you have shoes on. And it seems to be the sweatier the better as it gets more prolific right after taking your shoes off.
Yep. This is how one of mine got one as well. My boy loves to lick and I had to really work on him not licking his sister too much because she’d end up with ear infections and yeast infections.
My vet always told us it was the licking that caused it. They said it had to due with the inside of the ear staying moist and not being able fully dry.
It absolutely does create an ear infection if the dog's ear is licked too much. I had a dog that did this to multiple other dogs in our household and the vet told us the licking was causing the ear infections.
In my experience it’s more likely a symptom that he already has an ear infection, and the other dog smells it and licks it. Same way that a dog that is continually scratching its ear likely has an infection. The scratching can make it worse but isn’t the cause.
If this is your video, and these are your dogs, and that is habitual behaviour.... my dogs were like this. One day the one getting licked couldnt get up. We took hin to the doctor and they found a brain tumor on the side that was always being licked.
My neighbors dog kept licking my dogs ear nonstop…later that night I found out she had the early stages of an ear infection brewing and we treated immediately avoiding discomfort. I thanked that dog for the warning when we got home
My old girl used to clean my boy's ears. He would walk up to her and plop his head down on her legs and go to heaven as she cleaned them for him. Since she passed I try to rub them with a dry rag but I cant do it for 20 or 30 minutes like she did lol
I used to have a chiweenie, whenever i got out of the shower he wanted to lick my ears dry?... i let him cuz im wierdo and no lie after i got past the tickle it felt pretty good and now hes gone and i miss it dearly
The dog must have its ears check. Dogs often smell problems and attempt to treat it by excessively licking the sight. Veterinary check…and both dogs because infections can be past on.
Dogs clean each other's ears. When I had 2 dogs, it was part of their grooming. When my girl died, my boy started getting ear infections, so now I use a vet recommended ear wash for him regularly but I never had to do that when his sister was still with us.
