Dogs may lick the eyes of another dog <b>as a way of saying hello to new canines and indicating that they&#8217;re friendly.

Licking each other&#8217;s ears is just one way to show that. What&#8217;s more, it can ward off ear mites, but too much licking can cause irritation and possibly an ear infection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_OK_for_a_dog_to_lick_another_dogs_eye\"><\/span>Is it OK for a dog to lick another dogs eye?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Licking another dogs eyes There can be several reasons for this. <b>Dogs might lick each other when they are trying to appease the other or show signs of submission.
