Is this all metal objects randomly? Or a specific item?

He licks all different types of metal, for instance his dog tag(brass) when his colllar is not on, his lead buckle, door knobs, jewellery, watches. He feeds and drinks from stainless steel bowls but he doesn't lick them.

Many thanks,

Tim.
My dog licks indiscriminately (it's not as cute as it sounds :S ) and yes, he does like metal-his lead clip, collar if I ever take it off etc.

Not sure if it means a deficiency or anything, or if they are just nosey!

What do you have, Tim?

I have a black & white 2year old English Pointer. Nobody seems to know why he gets such pleasure out of licking metal.

Cheers,

Tim.
