ASK-THE-VET: DOG LICKING A LOT AFTER EATING

Question: My dogs LOVE your dry stew salmon recipe but one of my dogs seems to lick a LOT after. Is there anything he could be allergic to?

Answer: Licking a lot after eating would not be a typical allergy reaction. It is possible that the fat level in the Salmon recipe is higher than in his previous food and it might give him an unusual feel in his mouth. The licking might be unrelated to the food so if it continues, consider seeing your veterinarian to determine if he has something else happening in his mouth.

Good luck.
