Dog Chew

Why does my dog chew on her legs?

My dog constantly chews on her legs. Why does she continue to do this? Is there anything we can do to get her to stop?

First you have to find the problem. It could be allergies OR fleas.
Fleas can be very difficult to see. If you arent keeping her on a good flea preventative such as Advantage or frontline….she probably has fleas. Even if your not seeing them easily.

Allergies could certainly be another cause.
It could very well be her food that she is eating.
If your sure there are no fleas, try switching over to a good holistic Dog Food. Give it about a month of nothing except that food and see if it stops.
You may be VERY suprised!
My dogs had terrible allergies, but after a month of good holistic food their allergies are basically gone.

Hope this helps!

Allergies in dogs do not only make them scratch and chew their feet.
