Dogs are extremely self-conscious creatures, and they very rarely lick their paws because they feel it’s not hygienic. It’s actually a sign of being obsessive compulsive. Try putting some dog treats in your dog’s food bowl and rub your paw over the bowl so that he knows what to do.
Why does my dog lick his paws so much?
There is no sure answer to this question. It could be that your dog licks his paws because he has dry skin, or it could be that he is nervous or bored. Either way, it may be worth trying to figure out why he is doing it: maybe you can find a way to make it more comfortable for him!If he has dry skin, then a dog’s sweat glands are located mainly on their feet, so licking his paws can help to keep them moist. You can try applying cream or powder to help him stay comfortable and healthy.
What to put on dogs skin to stop licking?
Firstly, make sure that the product you are using is suitable for your dog’s skin type. Secondly, apply the product in a thin layer and massage it in. Massage in slowly and thoroughly so that the product gets absorbed into the dog’s skin. Lastly, leave it on for few minutes before washing it off with a wet cloth.
