Nothing is astounding for these annoying pests to dwell in your dog’s tail<\/a>, making him bite or scratch it continuously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is the itchiness that causes too much biting of his tail. When not cured or taken for granted, this can result in whining behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, make sure to visit your vet immediately for proper treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dogs are prone to various kinds of allergies like a human being. They can get allergies from the food they eat to environmental allergies, and there are a lot of allergies that your dog can come across. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check your environment or look around your house. Do you have household chemicals stocks; do you see pollen or molds? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps that is causing environmental allergen in your four-legged friend, resulting in biting behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing if allergies inflict your pet brings him to the vet to do an allergy test. The vet will understand what your dog friend is experiencing<\/a> and what type of allergy it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In many instances, a canine was seen to bite his tail due to some allergic reaction. Small dogs are prone to these allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So ensure to pay attention to the products you are using for your dog, like shampoo. You also need to pay attention to the food you give to your dog<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That is one of the many reasons for his skin to become irritated and inflamed, resulting in your dog biting his tail to ease discomfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n Like a human being, our four-legged friends also experience anxiety and stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This can be separation anxiety; when the owner leaves for the job, he may start showing destructive behavior<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Or your dog may chase and chew his tail. While the violent behavior is not acceptable, the biting and chewing act can’t be encouraged either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You might take up exercising with your dog, through this way, you can get engaged with a light workout and keep him busy with some activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It would keep your dog mentally stimulated<\/a> and forget about biting and chewing the tail due to the anxiety and stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fleas are not that hard to cure and eliminate. On the other hand, if food allergies occur, it may provide your four-legged friend a difficult time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That is simply because your dog will not be wheezing and sneezing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, he will become apparent and visible himself in many skin issues that require immediate attention from the vet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your dog is experiencing an allergy because of the food he eats<\/a> or consumes, your veterinary may suggest you opt for one protein diet for the time being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually, it takes account of a balanced diet with special meat like rabbit, kangaroo, or dick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
