Do you...?

Question

Do you let your dog/cat lick your little babies face/mouth?

Answer

My dogs have licked my daughters face, especially when she's in her swing near the floor. I always tell them to stop and wipe her face but it doesn't stress me out unless they wakes her up lol I'm a pretty easy going mom and dog slobber is a part of life so it doesn't bother me too much.

Answer

My dog eats cat poop so.. gross. My cats lick their butt holes. If I wasn't allowed to scoop cat litter while pregnant I'm certainly not letting my animals lick my baby.

Answer

I try my best not to have him lick her face or hands. Everywhere else is fine. But he doesn't really listen

Answer

No! That's disgusting .  They lick their privates for crying out loud.

Answer

Cheeks on occasion if they give her just a lick or two, but never mouth.

Answer

In future if I have kids I wouldn't allow it. An adults immune system is strong and dogs are vaccinated so no problems. But kids have delicate immune systems and still need their own vaccinations... As others have said dogs lick their bums and I don't even let my dog lick me on the face after I see her doing that. Also my dog likes sticking her tongue in people's mouth. I've learned to close mine tight but a baby or young child wouldn't know any different and then germs could really spread. I know in practice it's probably easier said than done due to the excitement of affection but I would try hardest especially if I know she's been licking her bum area and just went potty.

Answer

I try to limit it to hands and feet but she has a big lab tongue and really likes licking his hair

Answer

Face and hands no, but he sneaks his way in sometimes. He has an obsession with licking feet.
