Dogs obviously lick some rather unpleasant substances- but their saliva is also an antiseptic.
A couple of times Lily has licked the baby's face (I was not quick enough to stop her) but she was all okay - no illness. Builds up the immune system, thats what I say.  |
That is exactly what the health visitor said to me when my eldest was a baby, she told me better to build up the immunity to a dog that you knew was wormed etc than have a strange dog lick her with no immunity at all !!!!
If you have ever met a Flatcoated Retriever you would know they are No 1.
