Because they lick the buts. Many buts lick our faces, other times they lick our hands ... But they also lick each other and themselves. For what? We tell you why dogs lick: 8 Reasons, you do not know them all!

1) Dogs lick to show love:

The dog licks are like his kisses. Dogs show their affection and affection through licking, which is their way of giving us kisses (slugs ...)

The dogs also show appreciation with their lick. When we caress them, or when we kiss them, sometimes the dogs lick us back tenderly. It is their way of thanking the beautiful gesture that we have given them and showing us their reciprocity.

2) Dog licks you to wake up:

Licking is one of the ways that our dog uses to claim our attention. If, for example, we are asleep on the sofa and he wants us to wake up and listen to him, it is possible that our dog will touch us with his paw in his hand, and then start licking our hand. In this way it is ensured that we notice his presence and we pay attention to him!

3) Dogs lick to show submission:

Another type of licking, different from the previous one in its background, is licking by submission. When a dog is afraid or simply wants to show submission to another dog, it can lick its snout. With their owner, dogs usually lick their hands to show submission.

To identify this "scary" lick, you have to read the other body language signs of your dog that show fear like:

    walk slowly,
    to be shrunken,
    head down,
    have the tail between the legs, etc.

4) To take care and clean yourself:

Dogs do not use soap and water for their hygiene, these are human things. The bitch mother licks her babies to keep them clean and hygienic, and adult dogs lick their bodies to clean themselves. So sometimes, when your dog licks you he wants to cleanse you, and it's his way of taking care of you because he cares about you!

5) Dogs lick to explore the world:

One way to explore is by sight and smell, but once the dog has approached enough to its goal, the next exploratory step is ... lick it! When licking an object, the dog gets even more of its smell and above all perceives its texture and flavor.

This behavior is more common among puppies, which like human babies "take everything to their mouths" to explore it better.

6) The dog relieves itself when it is hungry:

When a dog licks its muzzle (and it licks) it can be indicative that it is hungry. If you see this behavior while you are cooking or when you open the fridge, the meaning is clear ... "Give me food please!".

7) Because dogs lick their snout: stress.

(We do not talk about smacking over food). When a dog licks its snout on its front, and at the same time has a rigid body, it is a sign of stress and fear. That snout lick is not a good bodily signal, but indicates nervousness and that the dog is not calm.

8) A sick dog licks:

If your dog licks a particular area of ​​his body with insistence, it may be that there feels pain. With that lick he is trying to calm down and comfort himself. That is why it is important that you be an observer in these cases. What can it be? To many things.
