Paw licking

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.

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.

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.
