SAFE TO GET A BIG WET KISS ON THE MOUTH FROM A DOG ?

Dogs  lick  their  various  back-end  apertures  again  and  again  and  again.    It  is  part  of  being  a  dog.

And  --  let's  face  it  --  they  are  not  very  discriminating  about  what  they  are  licking  OFF.

And  yet,  despite  these  obvious  facts,  guess  what  is  a  very  common  practice  among  dog  owners ...

If  you  ask  the  dog  owners,  "Is  that  wise,"  a  common  answer,  nowadays,  is,  "Dog's  mouths  have  powerful  enzymes  which  immediately  annihilate   bad  microbes  and  other  horrible  things  in  their  mouths !    People's  mouths  are  MUCH  dirtier !"

Is  this  true ?    Is  it  safer  to  kiss  the  mouth  of  your  rear-end-licking  poochie  than  it  is  to  kiss  the  mouth  of  your  spouse ?

Well,  what's  on-line  is  pretty  unanimous:    Dog's  mouths  in  fact  are  horribly  germy.    When  you  are  kissing  your  dog,  you  are  kissing  the  flotsam  and  jetsam   from  his  rear  end  and  other  things  poochie  likes  to  sample  with  his  tongue  that  are  still  present  in  microscopic  form.

Whipworms ...

Hookworms ...

Roundworms ...

Our  old  friend,  the  tapeworm ...

Parvovirus ...

Cryptosporidia ...

And  a  vast,  vast  variety  of  other  microorganisms.

And  from  this  we  conclude  that  dogs  absolutely,  positively  DO  NOT  have  super-duper  germ-killing,  feces-cleaning  enzymes.

So,  if  you  see  your  significant  other  kissing  the  dog,   before  you  kiss  your  significant  other  you  might  want  them  to  clean  their  mouth  out  with  this ...

...  and  watch  carefully  if  he  or  she  likes  to  drag  their  hindquarters  around  on  the  rug  to  itch  them,  like  poochie  does  when  he  has  a  problem ...
