Paw Licking in Dogs – What It’s Really Telling You

Paw licking is one of the most common behaviours dog owners notice — but also one of the most misunderstood.

While it might seem harmless or even comforting to your dog, excessive paw licking is often a red flag for something deeper going on inside the body.

It’s not just about allergies or boredom — it's often linked to inflammation, yeast imbalance, or internal toxin load.

Why do dogs lick their paws?

Yeast overgrowth on the skin or between the toes
Gut microbiome imbalance that triggers external symptoms
Mycotoxins from food stressing the liver and immune system
Inflammation that causes tingling or itchiness in the feet
Detox overload that tries to push waste out through the skin

Many dogs also chew or lick their paws after eating — a key clue that the trigger may be internal, not environmental.

Signs it’s more than “just licking”:

– Licking one or more paws constantly
– Chewing or biting at the feet
– Red, brown, or stained fur between toes
– Swollen paws or skin thickening
– Bad smell or discharge from the feet
– Behaviour changes like restlessness or anxiety
