Maltese Forum:
Contantly licking

Hi, I just found this board and really am needing some help.We have a 7 month old maltese he is great but he is a licker!! Its at the point where it is driving us batty.Does anyone have any ideas that I can do to stop him? He will lick everything,us,floor the bed.Everything..Help please!!! thanks :)

Hi there! I saw your message and wanted to let you know to try cow hooves. The dogs love the taste of them and they won't splinter like normal chew bones. He could be teething and drooling which is why he is licking so much so the chew hooves might work! Good luck!

My little guy licked when he was that age too. The vet saw that he still had some baby teeth that had not fallen out and needed to remove them. Today he is 2 ys. old and oonly licks to show love or if something is salty. We live at the beach and the salt air makes things salty. By the way,we never let the little guy on the beach. Good Luck!
