Your dog keeps licking its paws?
Have you noticed this habit?
Don’t know what it means?
Then, pay attention to this video.
Every dog loves a good walk with its human.
Walks in parks, on the street, or at the beach are when dogs can distract their minds, strengthen
the paws, and spend some energy.
But have you ever noticed your dog licking its paws after a walk?
If your dog has this habit, something might be wrong.
There are many reasons for that.
One of them is the high temperatures of asphalt where the dog walks, and a simple one to solve.
You can put shoes on your dog.
If your dog doesn't like wearing shoes, go on walks when it is cool outside, like at
the beginning of the morning or late in the afternoon.
If your dog seems bothered and nibbles at the paws while licking them, it might be a
sign of fleas, ticks, or mites.
Check their skin for parasites and take your dog to the vet for a clinical examination
to receive a specific treatment.

Another reason for licking their paws is a tiny bruise.
Occasionally, the dog may step on a small stone or glass shard, which may hurt their
paws, causing some pain and discomfort.
Lastly, it can be a behavior change.
Your dog spends too much time alone?
Are they not getting all the attention they need?
Is it a lack of exercise?
Does your dog have toys to play with?
Pay attention to it!
Animals also feel alone, depressed, and even stressed!
Dogs that are too anxious or stressed, for example, may develop the habit of licking
and chewing their paws as a means of releasing their anxiety and stress.
Now that you know some of the causes for this behavior, you surely want to learn how to
take care of their paws, right?
As common as it is to see a dog licking its paws, we should always pay attention to see
if it is happening more frequently than usual.
When a dog licks their paws too much, they get more moist, which favors fungal proliferation.
The best you can do is to talk to a vet.
They will recommend the best treatments for each case, and soon your dog will be feeling
good again.
