I have a little issue i need a little help with? Atka used to chew her paws a lot as a young pup (roughly 3months old ) , we found out that changing the cleaning products we where using on our floors helped a lot but lately she has been chewing at one of her back paws almost like she's chewing at the nails ? it has gotten a little bit red from all that chewing , i checked her nails and all seem fine but i DID notice they are a little brittle? not sure if it's cause she chewed at them that bits are braking off or if thats normal xD lol it's just very small flaky bits of nail i know that dogs become destructive or chew or itch when they are bored ,do you think this could be the main issue? does anyone have some ideas for a dog who doesn't like to play with toys something to do or how i can get her interested in the toys? , the only problem is i have a staffy and he has a few behavioral problems such as guarding his possessions , he has gotten a lot better with his training but i cant leave any toys around and being a typical Pit breed he'll take them and destroy them within a few minutes lol.If it has to do with her nails is there something i can give to help ? i do give cod liver oil on a rare occasion but tend not to give it a lot
she gets out walks around afternoon 2 hours after she is fed her morning meal ,we normally walk for 1/2 hours then go home ,at around evening we do a small training session roughly 10 mins long working on her tricks , she is currently fed on Arden Grange but she was fed on raw for a while (but sadly due to my depression i had to stop feeding it ).She was at training class but it was canceled to April 23rd so im not sure if she misses it lol.
I was hoping to teach her Frisbee but she's never been that great with fetch , she can but it's rather lazy lol! so perhaps some tips with that xD she just stares at whatever i thrown like im crazy.
also do you think a sand pit and water pit would be fun for her , Utes LOVE digging , she could dig all day if she could.
and just to add she is due a check-up at the vet , i shall be getting a full blood count to make sure everything is in check , i'll probably mention the chewing as well
Thank you everyone 8D
