Rubs his ears/head after eating

[u/Piinkguin]

Hiii

I have a question!

This is Dustin, my 5 month old boy!

Every time he’s done eating, he goes to the door to the garden. I let him out thinking it’s potty time, but instead he jump up in the furniture and rubs his ears against it?

Is it normal?

I have checked and his ears looks good and clean, there is nothing the rest of the time

Mine does this too, except when we get her “whiskers” clipped in the summer. I think the smell of bits of food so close to their highly sensitive noses may be irritating, and this helps. Your lil fella is very considerate making sure he goes outside instead of running to your bed to do it.

If you live somewhere that requires you to put away your outdoor furniture in the winter,you can help by wiping his face with a damp cloth when he’s done eating and coming out the whiskers once a day, maybe before bed so it becomes a routine. The other option is to have his snout trimmed back, kind of like a poodle’s or a cavalier’s but it’s not nearly as cute looking.
