Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Sometimes it could be allergies OR ...lots of dogs are obsessive/compulsive and it becomes a habit - MY cocker chews her nails ... I asked my vet why she does that... and he said dogs can be very much like people - we have nail biters...people who tug on their hair etc....and some dogs have nervous habits....like biting their feet. If you see her pulling hair out or the skin is red - then I would ask the vet for sure |

| That happened with mine and my vet said she had a yeast infection. If she has any red spots like in between her toes, maybe thats what your problem is. |
