Why do dogs like the taste of body lotion? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Tucker does the same thing. He's a 5 month old Yorkie. He knows when I turn the shower off, and he comes running to lick the water off my toes, feet , and legs. I've been using Bath and Body Sensual Amber. He loves to lick the lotion too. Tucker's Mom

Same here, it tickles and I always worry Sadie is going to get sick on it. Her favorite is Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion!

bentley does this too. i think the lotion smells yummy to them and iv even tasted it (not like on purpose but i could taste it off my hand when i bit my finger nail) and it does taste sweet. he probably thinks im rubbing his yogurt on myself and wants a lick!

I am relieved to find out I am not the only person with a furbaby who likes the taste of lotion.

I love bath and body works and coconut lime verbena is one of my favs.

If Roxie knows I'm taking a shower she won't come into the bathroom with me. The reason is because there have a been a couple of times I put her in the shower with me to bathe her. She avoids baths at all costs even though she usually loses. So I haven't had the problem with her licking my legs but she will my hands.

I thought it was just Maci! She will chase me to get to it!!!???...She also likes the smell of nail polish...

Rocky will walk into the shower with us if we let him, but he is a lotion licker too

Maybe between your toes? With Adie it would have to go up your nose!

Baby Lotion here. All 3 like it.

<sigh> Lotion lickers here too!

My Sadie does lick lotion but my cat is the crazy one. My husband wears gel in his hair and if he's ever laying down where she can get to him, she will chew every bit of the gel out of his hair. It's hilarious. She's 18 years old so I guess it isn't going to kill her.
