why does my dog snif my eyes?

Every day he gets on my or my daughters lap and sniffs our eyes. Why does he do this?

Answer #1

Your tears are salty, and they will sniff your eyes and lick their nose to get that salty taste. You are a part of the pack, and grooming eachother is a sign of respect!

Answer #2

well a sniff normally is smelling for other dogs wee to mark/capture territories

Answer #3

You are part of the pack…if you had another dog, you’d see them sniff and clean each other faces, around the eyes and ears especially…Their sense of smell is SO intense, eye’s would smell totally different to them than say your nose, or your ears…

Nothing to worry about, just a dog being a dog.
