My 2 pups were licking their paws quite often. I checked them and there was nothing that I could see .
During a check up to the vet I asked if anything was on the skin. After examination all paws were fine and normal.He said it could be allergies to the floor cleaner product since it contains chemicals.
I decided to switch from my regular cleaner to white vinegar mixed with warm water.(1:3)
It’s been 6 months and both of the pekes aren’t licking their paws anymore.
For their comfort and health I will keep using the vinegar mix.

Paw licking
nail
They had a fight and D’Artagnan lost a nail. The nail literally pooped out. It didn’t really bleed. I cleaned and disinfected the quick. He is wearing a boot when we go out to prevent infection. It will take several weeks for the nail to grow back.
The red dot on this paw is the exposed quick.
This is the nail that was on the floor. This is the first nail after the thumb one.
Wearing the paw cover.
I bought medium size from Pawz. He walks very well with it. It took him couple days to get use to it.
I had previously buy the xsmall recommended on the back of the package for pekingese but it is way too small.
The medium is good as he has a lot of coat on his paws.
