Why Does Your Dog Lick His Paws?


Dogs are carnivores. Many are fed diets that consist of little meat and an abundance of grains, carbs, fillers…plus chemical preservatives and dyes, rancid fats and just plain garbage. Even the best commercial pet foods are heat processed to death.

All of our systems (yours and your dog’s included) contain yeast in our gut tract. This yeast is kept in check by a healthy immune system and by the healthy flora of the gut tract. This yeast feeds on sugars (carbs/grains are converted to sugar by your body).

A dog’s diet should consist mainly of meat and meaty bones. This should be the main “ingredient” for optimum health. But, just read that dog food ingredient list. Even the “high quality” foods have an ingredient list that looks similar to this: Chicken meal, potato starch, turkey, peas, potatoes, tomato pomace, flax seed, whole carrots, alfalfa meal, etc.

And your dog’s immune system, kept on heat processed dog food or even an incorrect homemade diet, is NOT in great shape. So, the yeast goes NUTS!

Your dog may also have ear issues, stinky skin, weight issues. And, because a diet that is loaded with grains/carbs/fillers actually changes your pet’s pH, that paw licking (saliva) can cause the fur to actually turn pink. This is also true for dogs that have red, pink or brown eye/face staining as well.

Now that you understand why you dog licks his paws and that it’s NOT a “bad habit” or that your dog is not “bored”, you also can see that it’s time to examine his diet and fix the issue from the inside out.

I have seen suggestions online that include spraying your dog’s feet with cayenne pepper, putting socks on your dog, give your dog a bone to distract him,not the solution for Paw Lickingyell and scream at your dog. But if yeast is the culprit, then of course, none of these things will work!

It’s really as simple as beefing up your dog’s diet (literally) and adding Dinovite supplement. Give the changes up to 90 days to change your dog’s pH, to boost his immune system and to rid himself of yeast overgrowth.

Meaty Diet + Dinovite + 90 Days = Healthy Dog (No more Paw Licking!)
