| My yorkie chews his coat! I have a beautiful 3yr old yorkie named, Diesel. When he gets really excited he chews on the hair around his mouth. Its seems to stay wet and stinky most of the time. Can I shave the hair around his nose and mouth? |

| You can shave it. Does he have fleas or mites?

| Thankyou. No he doesnt have fleas or mites. He's just always had this nervous habit I call it. Chewing on the hair around his mouth. He doesnt chew anywhere else either. He also licks EVERYTHING like crazy. |

| Has he been checked for fungus? Very simple, swab test done by the vet. In a matter of minutes, you will have an answer. Good luck.
