when my puppy cleans himself he's been pulling his fur out with his teeth. the only place he pulls it out at is on his paws,when he does it he pulls out big clumps of it at a time.is this normal or could there be another reason why he's doing this?he's a very healthy pup and don't have any skin problems so i can't figure out what the problem could be.does anyone elses dog do this?

well this is one of my thoughts.. has he been tested for allergies? it could be he is allergic to some types or grass or weeds he's walking on and is picking at his paws to relieve the itch..

Yeah make sure you rinse his little feet very well. My poo gets itchy feet during spring summer and after I walk her she will lick her feet. I always trim the hair out of her footbed also. Many thing get stuck there if I don't dirt and other weed like things.
