Dogs have the habit of licking and chewing. Every dog lover knows that it is quite natural to watch your dog licking its paws and nails. However, there is a limit to this as more frequent licking and chewing can be a sign that your dog is sick with some inflammatory condition.
Dogs chewing Paws and Nails: Is it Normal?
Brief sessions of chewing and licking especially after a walk or play sessions are pretty normal behavior by dogs. Sometimes dogs also start licking before they relax and settle into their bed.
You should be aware of any irregular pattern of licking shown by your dog. For instance, if licking becomes more frequent and aggressive, it can be a sign that something is going wrong. If the licking lasts for more than 15 minutes and the paws of your pet appear red afterward you need to inspect your dog's feet and get the necessary help from a veterinarian San Diego, CA.
