Hair Pulling
by: Nonnie

Are you having him groomed or grooming him yourself so that the fur between his pads is cut out? Maybe check to be sure he doesn't have a bite of some kind or a cut. Also check with your vet. Your puppy could be having an allergic reaction to the grass or pollens. Wipe his feet with a wet cloth when he comes in from outside. Your vet might also recommend some OTC medicine for allergies or cream for the itching.
