In the clip, she explained that when dogs lick you it doesn’t just make you feel loved, it also helps your pooch feel less stressed too. 

She captioned the video: ‘Why do dogs love licking?’ 

‘Dogs like the taste of your skin and it’s a sign of affection,’ she said at the beginning of the clip. 

The vet said that one of the reasons your dog may lick you is because it releases stress. 

She added: ‘When your dog licks, it releases endorphins and so your dog is going to feel relaxed.’ 

Christine also revealed that licking is a form of communication and a sign of affection for pups. She added that it starts very early on. 

‘As soon as the pups are born, the mom is going to show care and affection by licking them. 

In older dogs, licking is also a sign of submission and affection,’ she added. 

‘So, if your dog licks you it’s because they love you and they also love your very salty taste,’ the vet said at the end of her video.
