Why do dogs lick cuts?

Dogs may lick cuts due to their natural instinct to clean wounds and promote healing. The licking action can help remove dirt and debris from the wound, and the saliva contains enzymes that may have some antibacterial properties. However, excessive licking can also delay healing and potentially introduce bacteria from the dog's mouth to the wound. It's best to consult a veterinarian if you notice your dog licking a cut excessively.
