Does my dog have ocd?

Could be whatever you are cleaning your hardwood floor with and she's licking that. It would help to know the exact locations she's licking in. Is it in traffic pattern parts, is it near where foodstuff may have been dropped and then picked up?

When does it occur most? Right after you've cleaned the floors? Right before you clean the floors. All these pieces of information might help you to get a better picture.

Or she just has her habit. They do have habits, no matter what other people say. Not ocd, but, like people, dogs have different 'predelictions'. Could also be a mineral deficiency and there's something there that she's getting. Or she's cleaning. [I had a Dobie that sucked his back paw and 'sang' -sounded like a horrid growl - all his life, just a nutty thing, he was perfectly happy, and that's what we found out, he was doing it when he was really contented and happy, go figure]

Ask the vet about the minerals - it's not a really noticable thing, but very easy to take care of.

I knew a bassett hound that ate rocks, lots of em. The vet would surgically remove them, and the hound would go right back to eating them. I finally got the people to ask the vet about mineral supplementation and the dog stopped eating rocks. I knew a keeshonden that licked paper. Same thing. Mineral supplementation. But not until the vet was specifically asked about it. So, I suggest you just toss that by your vet.

Now if you can get her to wag her tail while she's licking the floor and you tie a clean rag to her tail you may not have to clean your floors any more.

no sweetie both of my dogs do this.normaly my dog is hot or thirsty or she smells where someone or something has been there.but dont worry it might be a habbit but try keeping water and food out and try to keep her cool.it might be a habbit of her other parent had.

hope this helped! comment back anytime

OCD DEFINITELY can happen to dogs. It is quite possible that is the problem.

Here's a link, but there are many more.

p.s. "OCD" in dogs is also the name of a joint disorder, so you need to type out "obsessive compulsive dogs" in the search bar

she's not thirsty is she? is the floor cold? most dogs will lick cold surfaces, but if your dog does it alllllll the time i would definitely call it OCD.

dogs do get ocd. my friends dog used to bath its paws constantly.. drool everywhere. but if he walked, he needed to clean his paws.

Dogs don't have mental health issues like people. They don't over think things like people do. Very likely she smells something spilled there..

If your vet doesn't know, how the heck are we supposed to know?

^one of you two is dead wrong
