Why does my dog lick so much

she probably likes the salt...or just really freindly...lol

Its a love that the dog expresses to one...lol

Maybe he is giving you kisses :) I'm not sure because you did not say if he was licking you or himself. If it's himself, he just likes to be a clean doggy :)

Dogs will lick often because of lotions, skin care products, salt, anything that gets on your skin the dog will taste. Although its not proven, dogs licking also can show affection but theres no proof on that its just a theory

Animals tend to lick people because of the salt on the skin.

they call this kissing i have 2 winers they act the same they r frendly i think

My dog licks people's feet and shoes and he to will lick people's arms and skin if you let him. Not sure why they do it, but it bugs the heck out of me when my son lets our dog lick his cuts and scrapes.

maybe your dog hungry he he :P

They need the salt but that is not the only reason. It is her way of kissing. She is showing affection.

I have a black lab, he doesn't like to lick ppl but he loves to jump on them and have them pet him. He does lick his legs and paws an awful lot, but ppl I have talked to say just goes with the territory for labs. I do think it is the salt from the skin that the dog craves when they tend to over-lick ppl.

It's their way of showing acceptance and saying "hey, I like you!" A vet once said that it's part of their way of verbalizing with humans.

Well atleast he doesn't constantly lick himself like my dog!
