Why Do Dogs Lick Their Paws? Is This Normal?
Q: Why does my dog keep licking his paws? I’ve searched his feet and there are no cuts on his paw pads or anything stuck between his toes. Is this normal? A: There are several reasons why dogs may lick their paws—ranging from itchy paws caused by allergies to normal grooming to behavioral issues or other health concerns. Most of the time, it’s pretty normal, especially if it’s only occasional licking. However, if you notice that there’s excessive paw licking or your dog seems to be in pain, you should take them in for a checkup to determine the underlying cause of this behavior.
