Why Is My Dog Always Biting His Paws

If you’ve taken notice to your dog excessively licking or biting their paws, you may be wondering why and what you can do to help. While your dog licking and biting his toes and paws is considered to be common behavior, there is a difference between normal licking and dogs with red inflamed paws or chronic saliva stains that could indicate a concealed medical problem.

There are many reasons that could cause your dog to be chewing on their paws. Dry skin, growths, irritants like ticks or burrs, wounds, allergic skin disease, and even anxiety are some of the common causes for your dog’s constant licking.
