Unfortunately, it can happen that your four-legged friend licks their paws until they are sore. This can have a wide variety of causes. We have compiled the most important information here:
Dog licks its paws sore
Food allergy
If your dog licks its own paws noticeably often, frequently to the point of hair loss or inflammation of the affected areas, this can have various causes. Food allergies, e.g. when changing food, are often the decisive factor here.
Stress
Another reason for this behavior can be psychological. Perhaps your dog is under severe stress for some reason. Stress can be caused, for example, by an abrupt change in family life. It is also possible that your dog feels neglected and wants to get attention through this behavior.
Boredom
Boredom is also often the reason for such behavioral problems. In any case, you should consult a veterinarian to prevent things from getting worse.
