Dogs may lick cuts due to their natural instinct to clean wounds and promote healing. The licking action can help remove dirt and debris from the wound, and the saliva contains enzymes that may have some antibacterial properties. However, excessive licking can also delay healing and potentially introduce bacteria from the dog's mouth to the wound. It's best to consult a veterinarian if you notice your dog licking a cut excessively.

Does dog saliva heal wounds faster?

dogs saliva has enzymes that destroys harmful bacteria but also when a dog licks its wound its tongue gets rid of dead tissue so the wounds heal faster.This may not have the same effect for people. All animals have certain naturally occurring bacteria that live in their mouths. These same bacteria infecting your wound would likely lead to a serious medical problem. If you want to experiment with bodily fluids on your own wound, try your own tears rather than some butt-licking, carrion-eating animal's saliva.

Nothing. People used to think the enzymes (i.e. amylase) in a dog's saliva would kill bacteria but this is not the case. Dogs' mouths are dirty (like humans) and when they lick their wounds, if those wounds heal, it is in spite of the licking and not because of it.
