Why Do Chihuahuas Lick So Excessively? Exploring the Reasons Behind This Common Behavior
Dogs lick for a variety of reasons, including to show affection, to groom themselves and others, to explore their environment, and to communicate. When your Chihuahua licks you, it is likely doing so to show affection or to groom you. Licking is a natural behavior for dogs, and it is one way that they bond with their owners. If your Chihuahua licks you excessively, it may be a sign that it is anxious or stressed. In this case, you should try to determine what is causing your dog’s anxiety and take steps to address it.
In addition to showing affection, licking can also be a way for your Chihuahua to communicate with you. For example, your dog may lick you to let you know that it is hungry, thirsty, or needs to go outside. If your dog is licking you excessively, it is important to pay attention to its body language and other cues to try to determine what it is trying to tell you.
