chewing feet

19 17:15:00

Question
We have had our pom for over a year and she has recently started
chewing on her feet.  It's not just one paw she chews on, she chews
on all of them.  We checked her feet and it doesn't seem like there
is anything stuck in her paws that would be bothering her.  What
can we do to get her to stop chewing on her feet?

Answer
Chewing their feet could be from any number of reasons like allergies, boredom or injury.  Only your vet can diagnose for sure. Here are some links that may help-
