Default Why does my dog chew on her legs?

My dog constantly chews on her legs. Why does she continue to do this? Is there anything we can do to get her to stop?

Maybe something is irritating the skin. If it's serious enough, you might need to put a cone on it's collar so it won't be able to. just check this with your vet first. im no pro but i've seen some of these problems before.

What breed is she? Certain breeds have allergies to food, pollen, and dust. Is she on a good flea medication program like Frontline Plus?

Try washing her legs with an antibacterial soap and make sure you rinse it out real well and then gently dry them off, if something is irritating her skin. I would definitely have her checked out by your vet to voice your concern.

I'd suspect allergies....however, it could also be from boredom. Is he/she getting lots of excersize, play time? Some dogs will chew on themselves if they have no other outlet.

Hi, my sister is a vet and she told me of a very rare disease that dogs can get called Legbitearioutous. Dogs commonly do this when their a full grown dog. Dogs can't die from this but they ca get their flesh ripped of
