My pet(9month old golden retriever mix) is licking his paw a lot since morning and he is only getting aggressive towards licking as time goes. I checked for ticks/fleas/injuries. I found nothing. What might be the reason?

Hi. The causes why dogs lick their paws include, bacterial infection/fungal infection/ injury/ectoparasites/stress/anxiety/boredom. As you have already checked and ruled out few of the reasons, it's also important to rule out bacterial or fungal infection with an aid of cytology. If you suspect boredom or anxiety better spend more time by talking him on walks more frequently than usual plus provide chew toys to divert his mind. Give treats to trick him.

3. Chapatis
Chapatis are a staple of an Indian household and are commonly fed to street dogs and pets. It might again come as a shock but wheat chapatis are not healthy options to feed dogs. Wheat Chapatis contain gluten which is not healthy for dogs in the long run.
But, you can always feed chapatis made up of other gluten-free alternatives like quinoa and millet. You can also use curd as an additive to your pet's meal for their gut health.3 likes•60 views
