If your Pug is biting their paws, it could be due to several reasons. Allergies, either to food, pollen, or chemicals like cleaning products, are a common cause, making their paws itchy. Dry or irritated skin from excessive licking can also lead to biting. Fleas, ticks, or mites might be bothering them, so check for signs of pests. Anxiety or boredom can trigger this behavior as a way to self-soothe. Paw injuries, like a cut or something stuck, could also cause discomfort. Inspect their paws for redness, swelling, or foreign objects. If the biting continues, consult your vet to rule out underlying issues or allergies.
