Are My Dogs Normal?

October 30, 2009 -

Pet:

Bruno

If anyone out there has dealt with any of these issues, please let me know:

1. Bruno systematically chews the bark off our trees. I don't know if it tastes good, he's bored, or simply loves chewing (probably all three). He hasn't had any reaction yet, so do I assume it's safe?

2. Both dogs lick their paws a lot, mainly around their nails on the front feet. The vet said it can be a nervous behavior similar to people biting their nails, but I wondered if there can be another cause?

3. I recently purchased a new doggy bed with cedar filling. I later read that cedar can inhibit a dog's sense of smell. Is is ok to use or should I toss it?

Please feel free to comment and let me know if you have any ideas or answers.

Thanks!

Never assume anything with pets, Jessica. If he dose it again try to make him stay in for the day, I don't know, maybe he will catch onto it.

Best!
