So our little Zoe seems to chew her paws/pads a lot, all 4 of them so its not as if she has something stuck in her paw.

I've looked and no sores or cuts!

Is this normal or a trip to a vet?

She is only 14 weeks old!

She seems to have stopped doing it for the meantime, I'll keep an eye out for it though!

Thanks guys

I like to address the subject of diet with this and it can often help. In some cases it can stop it.

Ensuring the diet is free from allergens, which tend to be cereal based products (lots of cheaper foods include these to keep the cost down). Stay free from dairy products, soy and corn.

What is the dog fed presently?

Stress can be another common factor. To combat low level stress I favour a herbal remedy called Scullcap & Valerian from www.dorwest.com

Purina Pro-plan puppy kibble, any good?



It may be stressed, Zoe is very timid, how would you know if she was stressed?
