| Could be allergies-either in his food, or from the grass outside. You might call your vet, and see if they have any advice for you. My two have both done this-one required a change in diet, and one needed benadryl for her allergies.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yep - feet licking/biting/chewing is a cardinal sign of allergies (food or seasonal/environmental) - check Pollen in your area too...

| Sounds like allergies to me too! check the food you are feeding and make sure there is no corn or wheat in there. Those are known allergens for dogs and many of the cheaper commercial foods use that for fillers. |

| Charlie had yeast between his toe nails and caused him to chew constantly Bathed him in medicinal shampoo twice a week for three weeks, and no more problems. The test for yeast is a swab and culture. Warmly, Deborah
