Under stress, dogs often lick their lips and jowls.

dogs with nervousness, fear or anxiety also display this behavior.

If your pet tends to lick his jowls in a certain situation, he's trying to communicate that it causes one of these negative emotions.

Try to eliminate the stressor to help your pet feel better.
