Chewy licks everything, all the time! He could lick someones feet, arms, legs, hands for hours. The couch the chairs the blankets the carpet...EVERYTHIG!

He is 8 months old and there is nothing ON the things he is licking! WHY!!!???

I don't know but I bet some Bitter Apple spray would do the trick.

It could be an allergic reaction to his food. In the past, I had a dog that would lick her paws or the blanket for hours on end until we realized it was her way of dealing with an upset stomach.

Though our neighbor's dog growing up licked everything and I think it was more of a conforting thing than an allergy.

Maybe try switching her food up and seeing if it slows down?

definately get some bitter apple and spray it on the things he's licking and watch his reaction...it's amazing! They sell at petco and petsmart... Good Luck!

Teething? May have a straggler or two coming in and this helps relieve the associated discomfort.

Both of my Yorkies had baby teeth that took forever to get out of here.

we have bitter apple spray already and it works...but he licks everything and its hard to keep up with it. Also we have all his food allergies down, he is on a very specific diet directed by our vet so its not food allergies./..hmm...
