Many owners are faced with a situation when their four-legged friend suddenly begins to lick his paws.

On one hand, this may seem normal, as dogs like to keep their paws clean. On the other hand, obsessive behavior may indicate a number of other causes.

Street trauma

Licking paws may be due to injury to them on the street. The reason for this may be reagents, glass, other sharp objects.

Allergic reaction

An allergic reaction may also be the cause. It can cause discomfort in different parts of the body.

Insects

If your pet is suffering from an insect infestation, it can cause severe discomfort.

Stress

Obsessive licking can also be associated with stress, such as lack of love from the owner, boredom or loneliness.

Thus, when identifying a problem, it is important to try to find the cause and then begin to solve it. If you cannot cope on your own, it is better to consult a specialist.

Remember, your pet's life and health are in your hands.
