∙ 14y agoDogs can lick their feet for a number of reasons- they might be trying to remove something that is stuck in their pads, or have found something stuck on or between their pads that they like the taste of (i.e. if they've walked through spilt milk, tea, jam or similar). They also do it if their feet are sore, infected or injured, or sometimes as a 'boredom activity' if they feel confined and with nothing to do.

What is dermagen cream used for in dogs?
our Veterinarian prescribed Dermagen for the exterior wounds our dogs would develop from "worrying" their itches or former flea bites. This product was fantastic, our dog's wounds literally had the appearance of pizza [top layer or fur and skin gone] and dermagen not only stopped them from being crazed with itching and the need to constantly lick their wounds, but it also restored their skin and coat.

Nothing. People used to think the enzymes (i.e. amylase) in a dog's saliva would kill bacteria but this is not the case. Dogs' mouths are dirty (like humans) and when they lick their wounds, if those wounds heal, it is in spite of the licking and not because of it.

Why do dogs lick people's skin?
It's an interesting question, so let's start with why they lick their own wounds first. First of all, a dog's saliva is very clean, as compared to a humans. And of course, their saliva contains enzymes, etc. which aid a dog in both cleaning their wounds and to promote healing. The second reason is most likely, instinct. After all, they lick their wounds, so why not yours, and for the same reason, just as a mother dog would lick the wounds of one of her pups, should it get injured. It's strange, but after a period of time, you realize that the dog isn't as much your pet, as you're theirs. That's where the training begins, and you've got a lot to learn. Don't worry though, it won't be long before you're properly trained. Seriously though, I wouldn't encourage a dog to lick your wounds, but I wouldn't yell at it for doing so. Just a simple pushing away at the muzzle and a gentle, "No" should be enough. Chalk it up to praternal/maternal instinct. Our canine friends are a devoted species, and they too feel that they must take care of their human pets.
