Frequent chewing and licking in dogs can also be an indication of allergy. The stimulus of allergy can be any environmental factor and sometimes it can be food.
If your dog is allergic to some environmental factor (as there are fewer chances of true food allergy in dogs): it will present itself with obvious signs such as inflammation in the foot. The dog will continuously have an urge to chew or lick its foot because inflammation causes itchiness. Allergies tend to get severe with time, so you can expect your dog to become more annoyed over time.
Antihistamines can’t rescue your dog in such a situation as these are found to be ineffective in dealing with dog allergies. However, consulting a veterinarian is always recommended to manage symptoms of allergy in your dog.
Frequent allergy flare-ups must be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Carmel Valley.
