3. Excessive Licking or Chewing Themselves

If your dog is obsessively licking their paws or chewing on their tail, it’s not just a quirky habit. This behavior can be a coping mechanism for stress or discomfort, and over time, it might even lead to skin issues.

What to do: Distract them with playtime or a walk, and keep an eye on the behavior. A vet or behaviorist might be needed if it’s becoming compulsive.
