Dogs then lick the feet and bite their nails because of the itching.

The moisture and infection in the saliva then encourages a secondary bacterial or fungal infection on the feet.

This can become a nail bed infection as well (which can be a treatment challenge).

It is a vicious cycle that your dog needs help to break.
