Dogs like to lick their mouths when they have something to do. When he saw his master eating, he couldn't control his little tongue and saliva flowed down. However, some dogs will lick their tongues non-stop. Why is this? Friends who raise puppies can pay attention to these reasons.
1. Thirst
When people are thirsty, they will subconsciously lick their lips with their tongues. The same is true for dogs. As long as they feel thirsty, they will keep licking their tongues to keep their noses moist. If this is the case, you need to rehydrate the dog in time and take the dog to a cool and ventilated environment to rest.
2. Slight vomiting
When a dog vomits slightly, the food will enter the stomach again after temporarily staying in the mouth, so the dog will lick its tongue. Owners can pay attention to observe whether the dog is vomiting. If so, they should consult a pet doctor in time for medication.
3. Sick
When a dog is sick, especially oral diseases such as dental calculus, periodontitis, and oral ulcers, it will keep licking its tongue in the hope of relief due to oral discomfort. At this time, the owner should pay attention to observation. If the dog is found to be accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as listlessness and loss of appetite, it is recommended to go to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine the specific cause and then treat it accordingly.
