I have a Bichon that licks his paws often - and, he works hard to remove any leaves or other things that stick to them from being outside. He is just trying to stay clean - and it has never been a problem.
However - licking and chewing are two different things. Some dogs will "chew," their paws - and this can lead to a lot of different problems. I would see a vet for this and see if there aren't any allergies causing this behavior.
Good luck! Carol Jean |
