Some paw licking in dogs is normal for grooming, but excessive licking may indicate an underlying health concern. Common causes include food or environmental allergies, which trigger itching due to immune reactions ; behavioral issues like anxiety, boredom, or stress leading to compulsive licking ; and pain or injury that causes dogs to lick in an attempt to soothe discomfort. It is important to identify the root cause before suggesting supplements. To provide tailored recommendations for your dog, please complete our Pet Health Consultation Form with detailed information about your pet’s symptoms and history so we can offer the most appropriate support and guidance.
