Licking problem?

Question

I have a bishan-frise poodle mix. He's seven years old and has someone recently gotten into the habit of licking everything. Your hand, the carpet, the blanket, he just licks everything constantly. I can't even imagine what the problem could be. Please help.

Answer 1

typically a dog with al icking problem or any animal in that sense is missing something in their diet, they need a mineral or even salt, My suggestion is try a vitamin supplement for your dog, they have capsuls... alter the diet, you should start to see noticable results, you can also once a week scramble an egg and add egg and a little bacon grease to the food stirring to see that he can get added salt, and protein, usually when a dog becomes an obsssive licker its due to a lack of nutrients...good luck

Answer 2

The dog is lacking something in its diet. If it licks your hand, it might be craving salt. Likelihood it is seeking some mineral that you're not providing. Try a mineral supplement or just let him poke around the yard, maybe in some dirt. I think they need magnesium or something. Anyway, I know they are lap dogs, so it may need (another) bath.

Answer 3

Alot of times, dogs associate licking with pain. I'd ask your local veterinarian to take a look at him/her.

Answer 4

I have a Bishon Frise and he licks everything also...I think my dog is just wierd though...If you find out what it is then tell me.

Answer 5

Every time he sticks out his tongue, try grabbing it with your fingers, it doesn't hurt him, and he won't be encouraged to stick it out!

Answer 6

my dog does that too, he is very curious and at least he isnt biting!

Answer 7

no dogs are okay to lick you!
