My Dog Licks His Paws. What To Do?

Understanding the root causes of paw licking in dogs: how our probiotic can help

Persistent paw licking in dogs is not just a strange behavior; it is often a cry for help. But what exactly drives this compulsive action? Let’s explore the underlying causes and how our advanced dog probiotic provides a targeted solution.

The complex causes of paw licking.

• Allergies: Allergies are one of the main causes of paw licking in dogs. They can be environmental, such as pollen or mold, or dietary, stemming from certain foods. Allergic reactions can cause skin irritation and inflammation, leading dogs to lick their paws for relief.
• Gut health and diet: A dog’s gut health plays a crucial role in its overall well-being. Unbalanced gut flora can lead to digestive problems, poor nutrient absorption and exacerbate allergic reactions, all of which contribute to paw licking.Fungal infections: Yeast exists naturally on the skin of dogs, but yeast overgrowth can cause itching and discomfort, and lead to excessive paw licking. This overgrowth is usually related to an imbalance of intestinal bacteria.

• Stress and anxiety: Behavioral problems, such as anxiety and stress, can manifest in repetitive behaviors such as paw licking. It may be a response to environmental changes, separation anxiety or boredom.

How our probiotic addresses these issues

• Boosting the immune system: Our probiotic formula boosts the immune system, helping to reduce the severity of allergic reactions and skin inflammations. This means less irritation and, consequently, less paw-licking.
• Balanced intestinal flora: A balanced gut is key to a healthy dog. Our probiotic replenishes the beneficial bacteria in the gut, promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption. This balance helps prevent yeast overgrowth and reduces the likelihood of food-related allergies.
• Improves skin and coat health: Probiotics are known to improve skin health. By reducing inflammation and allergic reactions, our formula helps maintain a healthy skin barrier, reducing the need to lick paws due to skin discomfort.
• Reducing stress-induced behaviors: Although a probiotic is not a direct treatment for anxiety, a healthy gut-brain axis can positively influence a dog’s mood and stress levels, potentially reducing anxiety-induced paw licking.
