Mumsie

He is a very happy little fellow, loves to play, run around, loves his cuddles, is very sociable when meeting other dogs while we are walking and continues licking even when the whole family is together! I have tried distracting him when he is licking by giving him different toys to play with.

We have tried many different combinations of different foods - what would you suggest for a raw diet

Hello everyone I am hoping that someone may have some ideas on stopping our 4 y.o. Jack Russell Terrier from constantly licking his paws! We have an older Jack Russell (11 y.o.) and she has never displayed this obsession. Both dogs are bathed regularly in an antibacterial wash, they only have Eucanuba Vet kibble, the older dog has baked dog bones for a treat and the 4 y.o. has 1/2 a fresh chicken wing. He is also on steroids - 1/2 or 1/4 a tablet every second day depending on how much he licks. I work from home so loneliness is not an issue - they are walked for approx 40 minutes each day with some time off the lead. Our older dog will run on the grass however the younger one avoids the grass as it appears to hurt his feet. We have tried using a plastic collar - he stilled managed to reach his back feet. We have tried tying cotton baby booties on his feet - he takes them off. we have also given him sardines in oil with his kibble to see if that helps. We have tried to restrict his diet to no artificial ingredients - however the steroids make him very hungry and he is constantly looking for food. They sleep in our bedroom in their own beds and we often hear him licking his paws - it is driving us insane!! His feet are always moist from licking, very red and even look swollen however there is no smell. I would sincerely love some advise on this matter thanks Leone
