Tasteful feet

Question
I have a female black lab and she licks her feet all day and all night. There is nothing wrong with her feet she just likes to lick them. Is there anything that you can spray on her feet to keep her from licking.

Answer
It could be an allergic reaction, or a compulsive disorder. I'd check her food, and consider removing grains from her diet. And I'd give her something else to do with her mouth. Possibly a stuffed Kong. And see if you can redirect her to a different activity. If that doesn't work, you might talk to your vet about medicating, if she is to the point of causing self-mutilation.  Sandy Case BFA, MEd CPDT www.positivelycanine.com
