Dog Is Licking Paws

My dog (Rocky) is always licking his paws and making slurping noises. Any idea why? It is making me nuts to hear it all the time.

My dog does this and she has a stapf infection caused by a yeast infection in her stomach. I bought some dog probiotics and switched her to a lamb and rice dog food that does not have corn or wheat in it. You have to read the ingredients list, don't rely on the front label. The vet also gave me some cream to put on her foot that tastes bad to the dog, so she won't lick it. It can become a habit to lick the paw. Loretta (02/27/2009)

Take him to the vet, or at least call and ask. (02/27/2009)

You didn't mention what kind of dog you have. I have a poodle and you have to keep the hair on his feet carefully trimmed or they can become irritated. (02/27/2009)
