My Yorkie has started licking me compulsively Kalahad has always been a "kisser" LOL he won't pass a change to get to you and lick you a couple of times when ever your face is close to his. Approximately since a couple a months ago it has turned into something he does desperately and won't stop licking my arm or leg for more than a minute or until I set him aside. Have any of you have had any experience with this? He is 9 years old and never acted like this before. I would like to be sure is nothing medical. Gladys :confused: |
My Yorkie has started licking me compulsively Tricksie likes to lick but not conpulsively, can't believe yours just started at that age. Guess I would have to ask the Vet |
Maybe he's licking the salt off your body. I'd just call the vet, and see what he/she thinks. |
hi, not sure because of your babies age but my little bella goes mad licking everyone. it is all about the kisses with her. she is so sweet.;) sure it is nothing to worry about;) |
Could it be a mineral deficiency? We just moved to Phoenix from Puerto Rico! So there has been a big change in weather condition from humid heat to dry heat. Now that the high heat is over it will be his first "cool" experience. Also the water is very different. I remember when he was a puppy, at one time he would go and lick the walls. The vet told me it was some mineral deficiency. Could this be related? I would check about the salt mentioned. Would ask the vet. Thanks Gladys |
Toby is 16 and he's been licking like that for a few years. I don't remember when he started but its been a long time. I think its the salt. |
Cody loves to give me kisses... especially in the ear.. wet willy is what i call them lol he is too cute |
Could it be a coping mechanisim dealing with the anxiety of the move? |
At night, Gracie will get under the covers and snuggle up next to me like I am her dog mom. She then starts licking my night shirt constantly. She will do it until it is soaking wet, unless I stop her first. I wonder if it is not just an instinctive thing, a sign of contentment? |
my kacee will actually hold me down and lick me to death at times i just cant stand it so i have to push him off 2 to 3 times he seems to do it more when my other babie tuckers around.i think its some kind of jealousy |
Shooter is a "Kisser" I have to make him stop. But he has always done it. Emma doesn't give very many kisses. |
I think it may have to do with the move, hes acting out because he feels stressed, I doudt it's anything to worry about. :) |

licking My female likes to lick. I think they like the salt on your body, especially if it's hot out. Also if I pet her and stop she will try and lick my hand for attention. I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe it's their way of bonding. Like monkeys groom each other, dogs lick! |
Could they need a mineral supplement? Quote:
He would also lick my pyjamas and pillow! (but he's done that many times before) and obviously he sleeps in our bed!! he also gets inside the sheets and snuggle between my legs and tummy when I am on one side... if I turn he turns with me!!!! If it gets worm he moves up and lies his head on my arm. He is so adorable. Thank God my husband loves him too...he also jumps to his side! Gladys |
