People that don't like puppy kisses always concern me.

[Funtatlaguy]

To me, a puppy kiss is one of the greatest gifts ever.
I have friends and family members who hate them, though.
Why would you turn down that unconditional love just because of a little doggy saliva?

I like dogs and of course puppies but no thank you to the licking.

8. Uhhh, have you thought about where that tongue has been??

A) the dog almost never brushes its teeth, let alone gargles; B) answer the question what that critter uses for toilet paper? (its tongue!), and maybe you'll start to understand why I'm not fond of dog kisses.

9. It has been said

That a dogs mouth 👄 is much cleaner than a humans.

11. It has also been said that it's not.....

Personally--I vote "not". I'm not into consuming canine fecal matter either first-hand or second-hand, thankyouverymuch.

10. yup

not a dog person in the first place, but dogs that lick and stuff their nose instantly into my crotch are instantly pushed away. I know they are just curious/loving, but GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!

[Laffy Kat]

12. Yes to puppy kisses and puppy breath.

I turn to mush for puppies.

[Solly Mack]

13. My 3 attack me and kiss my face all over. This is their morning ritual.

I love it.

Doggie kisses are wonderful.

15. How about bacterial infection? Or "How Deadly Is Your Dog's Saliva?" Enlightening:

An elderly lady and her pet Italian greyhound – sounds like the lovely opening to a sweet story doesn’t it? The story, however, is rather dark. According to a recent medical case report, the greyhound was the likely source of an infection resulting in a lengthy hospital stay and potentially fatal sepsis. Thankfully, this particular patient survived, but the story raises some interesting questions about our increasingly close relationship with the domestic dog.

The bug responsible was Capnocytophaga canimorsus, a bacteria commonly found in the mouths of dogs and cats. It’s estimated that up to three quarters of healthy dogs harbour this bacteria in their mouths. These animals suffer no ill effects and, in truth, humans coming into contact with this bacteria rarely suffer any medical consequences.

But, occasionally, problems might arise, especially if you have reduced immune function. With a reported mortality rate of 30%, awareness of susceptibility to Capnocytophaga canimorsus infection is important for groups who might be at particular risk, such as the elderly.

16. I don't mind puppy kisses, although gallons of drool

from a Newfie is a bit off-putting. But I have cats, only one of whom is a licker. What cats do is stand on your chest and proudly show you their butthole. Cat buttholes look like Trump's mouth, so even apart from the fact that you're looking close-up at a butthole, the view is almost as off-putting as gallons of dog drool.

18. My father used to say that "There's nothing cleaner than dog spit." He was, of course, a dog lover.

19. I live with three people who don't like puppy kisses.

One is a two legs and she is allergic to dogs. The other two purrsons have four legs and fur all over and are allergic to dogs. I like them, but the cats say being slurped makes me smell like a dog.
