Dogs tend to lick things like rusty metal because they are exploring. Licking is a way a dog checks things out. If it is a constant issue, it may be something that would need to be address with a veterinarian.

LOL. Cats like to lick a lot of things. They like their fur, floor, liter box, ETC. So it really isn't a big deal that your cat licks metal :) I think...

When dogs lick metal, it is characteristic of an iron deficiency. Feeding your dog a dog food that has increased iron should stop the licking and decrease instances of anemia.
