Her Majesty Dogmad Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sounds like fleas or lice to me. Are you using a barrier product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leo01 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My staffy does this, and doesnt have flees either (Is advantix treated monthly) Know what you mean when you say it isnt a scratching and itch type on licking and nibble but more like he just does it cause it feels nice! He doesnt do it excessively either, usually for a few minutes when he wakes up, be it morning or after an afternoon nap. I have put it down to its just his way of waking up, like we rub our eyes when we wake up or are tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
