In most cases, licking is a completely normal behavior. However, if it becomes compulsive, excessively frequent, or is accompanied by anxiety, whining, or other unusual reactions, it may be a sign of:
-
stress or boredom
-
lack of sufficient movement and stimuli
-
behavioral problems
In such cases, it is a good idea to pay attention to the dog’s daily routine and, if necessary, seek advice from a specialist.
