Biting/nibbling/knawing feet??
Hiya, Lola has been munching on her feet/legs all day today!
Especially her pads!
Any ideas as to why?!
Thanks
Here's my girl!

Very cute pic, It could be a yeast infection. Don't know a lot about myself I'm afraid. Hope she is ok soon Xx oh and try and discourage it when you can Xx

Gorgeous pic! Staffies can have an excess of yeast on their feet, this can lead to chewing and nibbling. Its not a big deal if the area looks normal. My boy does it, and when I catch him, I tell him to leave cos I dont want him making himself blessed or causing an infection. Just tell her to leave it if you catch her at it and keep an eye on the area.

sasha some times nibbles at her pads if she has a thorn or some thing stuck in it,then she licks it foe abit,just have a look and see if you can see any thing in there,make sure she does'nt nibble it to much or she'll make it sore.

could be a sign of grass allergy. especially if its seasonal. Stellar has allergies and it always starts this way, then moves into scratching/gnawing other places too. Good luck. Hope it stops soon.
