Why is my dog still chewing her paws and nails after a trim?

Question

My dog has recently been chewing on her feel/nails and I thought that her nails just needed to be clipped. I took her today to get her nails clipped by our vet, and it seemed to help. However, when we got In bed this evening, she has started chewing her nails/feet again. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

Hello and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. It sounds as though Maggie may have an allergy based on your description. I would recommend bathing her in a shampoo such as Douxo PS calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until the resolved. I would also recommend using a spray such as malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area until resolved. Welactin omega 3 fish oil and essential 6 spot on by dermoscent are a couple of other products I recommend which can be found online easily. I hope this helps! If there is no improvement then I would discuss other options with a veterinarian that may provide more relief using prescription medications if needed. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
