Dogs saliva good or bad?

Answers:
Apparently it has antibacterial abilities, hence if you have an open wound and a dog licks it it supposedly can help... but maybe make sure the dog has not just been cleaning it's privates..! ewww..!!

Good for keeping dog alive.
Bad if used as a substitute for clothing.

good for no reason..and its absolutely bad for humans

---

it depends on the breed of dog

I've heard that it has some sort of enzyme in it the helps the healing process but I am sure that all of the other bacteria that live in there kind of negate that. Humans also have an enzyme in the saliva that is suppose to help heal.

well i wouldn't bathe in it, or drink it for that matter. Wash your hands

---

In context of what?

---

a dogs saliva is supposed to be antiseptic, but its not nice if they just been eating or licking their bum, i would rather kiss my dogs than alot of humans any day

---

saliva has emzimes which breaks down sugars in foods which keeps the dog healthy
and if there is a dinner bell when its feeding time the dog starts to get more saliva so its prepared to eat

If you find a good use for it let me know. With four Saint Bernards in the house I could use some tips. Maybe I could sell it on eBay?

a dogs mouth is cleaner than a toilet waht does that tell you

Hi Rob.
Punch up Zoonosis and Anthroponosis and I'll let you make your own mind up on what diseases can be passed either way. I believe it is something like forty-seven that they can give us and I think seven that we can pass to them so If it was a competition the dog would win hands down!
That is what I can't understand when owners allow their dogs to kiss their mouths!
