5 Reasons Your Dog Rubs Their Face On Your Rug

Unwelcome Visitors

Parasites, such as fleas or lice can cause an intense itching sensation on your pups. However, if they are suffering from a parasite, they will most likely be itchy all over, not just on their face. Your dog may also have a skin disorder - dry skin, mange, yeast infections are all likely to cause irritation. And if you notice the rubbing becoming more frequent, it may be time to involve your vet.

It Hurts

Another reason to keep an eye out for excessive rubbing is the chance that your pup may have an infection. Infections can occur in the ears, nose, mouth or eyes and your furry friend will rub those areas to ease the discomfort. If it is an infection, other symptoms such as discharge, swelling or lack of an appetite may occur, so be on the lookout and contact your vet if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

It Just Feels Good

Sometimes your dog may rub just because it feels good. Haven’t you ever scratched your back against a wall? He or she has discovered something fun “dog”gone it!
