question about licking and salt lacking

[hotpod]

ok so my yorkie licks constantly...and my coworker said it was becuase he needs more salt...how do i add more salt to his diet? salt his kibble? or is it because he just really loves me?

Is your Yorkie licking it's feet or giving you kisses? If your pup is licking it's feet it could be allergies to something in the food and whatever you do...don't put salt on the food!

Is there corn or a corn product in the food you're feeding? If so I would start there...corn can be a source of allergies and can cause them to lick their feet and scratch all the time.

I've never heard of the salt thing. Teddi licks and licks. She licks feet and faces. I think it's just what some dogs do.

if he is licking you- dogs do that to show what things belong to them you're his it must be an old wives tale- you do NOT want to add salt to his diet- and he probably does it beacuse of lotion you wear or what you ate and is on your hands.

If he is licking himself- it could be allergies.
