My dog constantly nibbles her paws & they’re stained red from it. Why does she do it & what removes the stain?

No matter what I do she won’t stop biting them. I’ve heard that she might have OCD. I’m trying to find something to get rid of the stains on her paws.

    Sounds like your dog has food allergies. Try switching her food to a low-grain, high protein food to help. The stain is probably blood.

    buy a different type of dog food that doesn’t contain corn. Because corn makes animals chew their feet

    Paw licking can be a symptom of an allergy. You might try changing her dog food (if the ingredients include chicken, for example, find something that uses lamb instead and try to eliminate wheat, corn and soy). Sometimes that will solve the problem. If not, you might want to see the vet for some medication that can help. Good luck!

    she is allergic to her food. feed her good and the stains will wear away with normal bathing.

    chewing paws can all so be a sign of pain. if they have arthritis they will chew their feet because they cant reach their shoulders or it is just easier than turning round at bitting at their hips. might be time for a trip to the local vet then they can see if it is arthritis or food allergy.

    This sounds like some type of allergy. It may be a food allergy or a topical allergy (something she walked in). Chances are her paws aren’t stained she is probably licking them raw. If she has recently started this and you have changed her food or any of your household products change them back. Also contact your vet they can help you work out what sh is allergic to and eliminate it from her diet or environment. Your vet can also give you meds for her feet depending on how bad they are.
