Why Does Your Dog Lick Your Feet? Explanations of This Intriguing Behavior

And when he’s the one licking his paws?

Dog licking paws excessively

Be careful, the meaning is completely different. Intensive licking of the limbs can reveal:

    • Allergic reactions (food or environment)
    • Skin lesions or insect bites
    • Exposure to aggressive substances (household products, road salt, etc.)

In these cases, urgent veterinary consultation is necessary to avoid complications.

In conclusion, this seemingly curious behavior actually reflects a special relationship.
If these moments touch you, enjoy this unique display of affection. If, on the other hand, they bother you, remember that with kindness and consistency, you can guide your dog toward other modes of expression.
