This is the animal equivalent of using toilet paper!
Animals can't hold a sheet of toilet paper to clean their bottoms so they use their tongues.
Cats clean their fur, dogs don't. The reason is because cats use the tongue to clean flesh off the bones of their prey, the teeth are different than dogs teeth, made for shearing flesh, the tongue helps them clean up the meal.
ummmm.... no but dogs do have speacial acids in their mouth to keep their mouth clean.
Your dog is not going to get sick from licking a cat's butt. Animals are always licking their butts.
dogs aren't as flexible as cats so they couldn't completing clean themselves. Also, dogs don't have the right tongue to clean themselves. Dogs are just different.
What about a dogs butt Goats butt. Dogs don't butt.
Maybe they want to clean it after they go potty at least that's what I guess my cat does the same thing
No. It's actually the third most dirtiest thing in the world. Dogs clean themselves with their tongues and their fur in covered in dirt and other nasty things. The best things for owners to keep their dogs mouths clean is to brush the dog's teeth.
Nice. It's to keep themselves clean. It can also mean that they need their anal glands expressed. This is the reason dogs drag their butt's on the ground.
No. It's more likely that the dog is cleaning the floor rather than their tongue.
No. Rabbits are cleaner than both cats and dogs and groom themselves constantly. They also have very little to no smell. Only their cage smells if you don't clean it. They are prey animals so they keep themselves cleaner than carnivores.
The difference between a cats tongue and a dogs tongue is that a cats tongue is rough and looks like there is little teeth on the tongue. The dogs tongue is smoother than a cats and is most of the time longer than a cats tongue. Also a dogs tongue can be different colours. It seems to be said also that a dogs tongue can heel a wound.
clean, play lps, make a fort, make a car, color, paint, play with dogs
