figgy Posted November 15, 2019 Get the taste off their tongues. Sorry no idea, my wife's dog does it so often not just after eating he coughs with the fur in his throat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbird Posted November 15, 2019 Probably a behaviour that harks back to the days of catching and eating prey, some of mine do it too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruno22rf Posted November 15, 2019 We rehomed an ESS 5 weeks ago - soooo fat but we've knocked 3kg off him already - he has a rather unusual habit - he loves to lick my feet, nobody else's but mine, for hours, the more smelly the more he seems to enjoy licking and nibbling any hard spots - it's actually rather relaxing.
