Dogs that lack
physical or mental stimulation can become bored. For lack of something to do,
they may start biting and chewing their feet and nails. Doing so gives them
something to focus on and vent out some of their energy. There are instances
when dogs bite and chew at their paws because they are suffering from
separation anxiety, being left home alone while their owners are at work.
If your dog is
left home alone for a considerable length of time regularly, be sure that he
has lots of things to do to keep him busy. Leave him with puzzle toys,
treat-dispensing toys, interactive toys, etc. so he won’t be bored. Boredom is
certainly a potent catalyst in the development of undesirable habits. Also, be
sure that you take your dog on outdoor excursions or even just a walk around
the block regularly.
Sudden changes
in your pet’s health and/or
behavior should warrant an appointment with a vet clinic Cherry Hill,
NJ.
