Why does a dog lick the floor: what should the owner do about it.

Why does a dog lick the floor: what should the owner do about it.

Just boredom or an alarming signal for the owner.

Owners often notice that their dog energetically licks the floor. The reasons for such behavior in your dog can vary from harmless to painful.

Perhaps there were tasty treats on the floor. During dinner, you might have dropped a piece of meat, and the dog couldn’t resist licking that spot. Keep an eye on cleanliness and use appropriate floor cleaning products.

Sometimes a dog may “sample” a new place, such as a veterinary clinic or a friend’s apartment. Stressful situations can also have a significant impact on our furry companions, which may manifest in floor licking. If the concern becomes chronic, professional help may be needed.
