Why does my dog bite her nails?

Rosie could be biting her nails for a few reasons. Dogs will check on nails due to itchiness or injury. Check all her nails, toes and in between her toes for any signs of injury or reddness as this could indicate pathology. Sometimes dogs will chew on nails as a sign of boredom or a comforting/self-soothing habit. When in doubt, have Rosie examined by the veterinarian. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
