🐶Why do dogs lick us? Grandma tells you everything!

A way to communicate

Yes, our furry companions don’t speak our language. Licking is their way of communicating with you.

• He is happy  : he comes to greet you enthusiastically.
• He is stressed  : licking can also be a sign of anxiety or a need for comfort.
• He’s seeking your attention  : maybe he wants to play, go outside, or simply get a hug.

So, pay attention to when and how he licks you!

The effect on our health – Good or bad?

You know, back in the day, some people said that dog saliva healed wounds… Well, Grandma doesn’t recommend you try making a home remedy out of it 😅. But what we know today is that dogs carry bacteria that aren’t always harmless.

• The good news:  Contact with dogs boosts our immune system and reduces stress. Their love is truly therapeutic!❤️
• The downside:  Their tongues sometimes contain germs (like parasites or bacteria) that can cause infections, especially if you have open wounds or a weakened immune system.
