Lexi's feet..

Post by Staceyvd »

Lexi keeps licking her feet and drooling all over my couch. I'm getting really annoyed by it lol. Why do they lick their feet like that!!??

Sometimes it's allergies, though I think it depends on how much they are doing it. My yorkie/pom licks his paws every night just as we are laying down in bed. He's been doing it since 6 months old [he's 13 now], hasn't missed a night of a good foot cleaning. He even sometimes cleans my 'paws' for me...how thoughtful. ;)

If she's doing it obsessively, and all the time...then you may want to look more into it.

Allergies are a primary reason. Sometimes it is stress. In a puppy however I think allergies are more the cause. If it is an allergen excessive licking could cause an infection.

After every walk, Loo cleans his paws. Maybe she is a very cleanly one, your Lexi! :)

A clean pup LOL - my Trooper won't even get on the couch - by the sounds of it - thank goodness! He likes the coolest floor he can find - leaves a wet spot there when licking done but not much to wipe up there :)
