No I don’t like to be licked myself by a dog and certainly wouldn’t like it when it doesn’t lick my baby’s face

A little lick won’t hurt. Just not on the mouth and not excessive. I try to teach mine not to lick tho

no i don’t like dog’s licking or jumping on people, personally

That is something we never let any of our dogs do to anybody. If it was attempted the dog was gently pushed away. I detest that and always stop any visitors from encouraging the dog, a cat too for that matter. Some dogs will do it if they have a salt deficiency if they are allowed to do it once. Make sure your pets always have plenty of water available so they don’t attempt it to get any moisture.

Yuk if it can be avoided try but if its by accident, just shew away if possible

Not if it can be helped, but I wouldn’t go to pieces if it happened, just wash their faces I’ve seen what dogs love to lick, not nice

I am dog lover too – but this is a no, no. I have seen noses and cheeks that have been bitten by dogs and all occurred in play. When kids are older and can handle and be in charge of a dog then they can have more play time.

I don’t like dogs licking anyone’s face. Yes I am a dog lover. It’s not something I encourage with mine and if it does happen I wash my daughter’s face immediately

No way! The dog could transmit infectious material like faeces into the baby’s mouth or eyes.

I do but not too much! My daughter loves it when the dog kisses her she gets so happy. I mostly clean her face straight after but a bit of germs won’t hurt!

yes and no to much is to much, but a little will help it build up a immunity to bugs etc…… but to much is over thw top. The dog needs to learn its place in the family tree.( its at the bottom)

Obviously it’s not ideal, but I have a playful dog and a playful toddler and occasionally this happens. I don’t worry about it too much considering the amount of other germs she must be getting during the day! I don’t think there’s any disease that can be spread this way. Just think of it as building the immune system.

Dogs should not lick faces, especially babies. Dogs can be very playful and sometimes they nip. I would not chance it.
