If I just said どちらも好きです.Would that imply that I like both as well?


No, I'm afraid not. どちら is a question word. どちらも好きです would mean something along the lines of "Which both is liked?". razz

Although the context of this question may be key, I've learned that どちら in a response is fine. Maybe you mean that as a simple statement it is incorrect, but if posed a question
犬と猫とどちらのほうが好きですか。

どちらも好きです。

Should work. Of course different people are taught different things, but did you learn this as incorrect, or is this just a context mix up?
