The reason why dogs always like to lick their tails and butts:

1. Some dogs infected with parasites in the intestinal tract will feel itchy and lick their buttocks.

2. Dogs have anal glands on both sides of the anus. When the anal glands are swollen or infected, the dog will lick the butt to relieve the discomfort of the anal gland swelling.

3. If your dog often plays in the grass, and then keeps licking his butt and the root of his tail, then it is very likely that there are fleas on his body.

4. If the dog's tail or butt is red, swollen, scabbed, and dandery, it means that it is caused by skin diseases, and it should be treated in a hospital in time.

5. Generally speaking, there will be secretions in the dog's butt. Because the dog's physique and diet are different, the secretions discharged are also different. If it becomes a paste, it will block the anus, and the dog will lick it when it feels uncomfortable.

6. Dogs generally take care of their hair by licking, as long as they don't lick their tails or butts frequently.
