Have you ever noticed your dog biting or chewing his nails frequently? You are probably thinking, why is he doing this? Is there something wrong with him? Shall I bring him to a vet?

 As a general rule of thumb, if you notice anything unusual in your dog's behavior, it shall merit a visit to the vet. Nail biting or chewing could not be considered an unusual behavior unless it causes any disruption to you or your dog's overall condition.

 It is common for dogs to chew or bite on things, especially those dogs considered "mouthy" breeds. On the other hand, this behavior can become bizarre if he bites his nails all the time to the point that his paws become damaged. In most cases, this means something on his paws or beneath his nails irritates him and must be removed by a vet or groomer.
