Question
my 3 yr old bully chews on himself almost obsessively. He seems to enjoy it and has a few different spots he routinely goes to. For instance he chews his paws to the point where they bleed between the toes. I always clean the wound and never see any debree or anything. He also scratches his belly and pits while he licks the air. He scratches so hard he gets bad scabs. I have tried to use all kinds of creams and antibacterial ointments. This is a common practice for him and don't know how to make him stop. Please advise me in what step I should take with this. I feed him pedigree lamb and rice. He just started beniful, but ways has stomach issues with food.

Answer
Hi Brittany, Please place this bullie kid onto a grain free dog food and the NuVET bulldog supplements.
Next time you are at the pet store, ask them to help you choose a grain-free dog food.
Also, here is the NuVET bulldog page:
This will help:
YOUR pal may have some Environmental allergies **( grass and pollens, even trees)
