Shelby is a 9-month old Great Dane “puppy.” She has taken a liking to licking the brick wall in the living room. Frequently she can be found making her way across the wall, licking the bricks like an ice cream cone.

Make sure she is not “heading” the wall on purpose – this can be an indicator of a neurological issue – I just read about this doggy issue the other day!

My pitbull has those same marking (brindle/white)!

Hmmm, something in those bricks taste delicious. Let’s hope it’s good 🙂

Wonder if there are tasty minerals leaching out of the brick (like salt?)
Pretty markings!

I agree with Smartypants; Shelby is going for the minerals/salt in the bricks.

My little kitty licked the brick around my fireplace when he was getting really sick. There is a mineral in the brick that his body needed. It might be something you want to call your vet about it. Just wanted to share. What a gorgeous puppy!

Gorgeous and crazy, great combination!

Concrete/brick licking can be a sign of anemia – best check that out to make sure she’s not coping with a medical issue.

get your dog checked out…not normal…

I was thinking the same thing about having the doggie checked out for “heading” a dangerous neuro problem.

LOL. Our grand-dog, a 4 month old Great dane likes to lick bricks too. she seems normal otherwise. We are not worried. It is not head pressing.
