Why does my dog like to bite my hair?

  • If your dog isn't on flea preventive, his hair pulling and skin chewing might result from flea allergy dermatitis. If he's sensitive to flea bites, just one flea could cause all of that suffering. He's likely chewing areas in his mid-back, the base of his tail and hind legs, known in vet-speak as the "flea triangle.".

Dogs may lick because they like the salty taste of their owner's skin, as a sign of affection, or out of habit and boredom.

When behavior driven licking is excessive, resulting in hot spots, hair loss, or skin irritation avoid punishing your dog.
