I’ve noticed that my dog has been licking her lips constantly lately. At first, I thought it was just a quirky thing she does, but now I’m starting to worry that it might mean something more. She’s not eating or drinking differently, and her overall health seems fine, but the lip-licking is especially noticeable when she’s relaxing or watching us eat.
I’ve read that this behavior can sometimes indicate stress or anxiety in dogs, but I’m curious if all dogs lick their lips for the same reasons. Has anyone else experienced this with their dog? If so, what did you discover, and did you make any adjustments that helped? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
