Do Dogs Like Kisses?

Some dog

Some dogs seem to enjoy being kissed. They may wag their tails, lick your face back, or even close their eyes in pleasure.

Other dog

Other dogs, however, find kisses to be annoying or even uncomfortable. They may pull away, bark, or even growl when you try to kiss them.

It depends

Ultimately, whether or not a dog likes kisses is a matter of individual preference. Some dogs will love it, while others will hate it.

Pay attention

If you're not sure whether your dog likes kisses, it's important to pay attention to their body language.

Veterinarian

If you're still not sure whether your dog likes kisses, you can always ask your veterinarian.

Say no

Even if your dog does like kisses, it's important to respect their boundaries and not force them to accept kisses if they don't want them.

Affection

If your dog doesn't like kisses, there are plenty of other ways to show them affection. You can pet them, play with them, or just spend time with them.
