It seems like our dogs are always up to something either endearing, bizarre, or just plain intriguing. After all, sometimes we just don’t know why dogs do the things they do.

But sometimes, we do know! That’s the case with your dog licking their paws, which is something almost all dog parents have witnessed at one point or another.

And while occasional paw-licking is completely normal, when it becomes regular you might need to look into it a bit more to figure out the cause — which lets you find the solution too.

Here are 6 main reasons your dog might be licking their paws:

  1. An injury
  2. Dermatitis
  3. Parasite infections
  4. Food allergies
  5. Pain
  6. Stress, anxiety or behavior-based
