Biting feet?

Why is Pennie biting her feet? She's only my second puppy so it's strange for me, but friends of mine have said their pup used to chew on her feet.

It is hayfever season too thou so could be itchy or teething, Anoushka only did the paw licking etc at this time of year and never had other symptoms of hayfever? She settled down on the piriton. worth keeping an eye on whether she makes her pads sore doing it as that would be a sign she really is troubling them.

She's not biting it for long and seems to do it when she's bored with her toys..

Is she stressed?
Do you stop her? Could become an obsession.

She doesn't do it enough for it to become and obsession.. In fact I don't think she's done it for a bit.. I don't think she's stressed. And when she does it I do take her foot out of her mouth and pass her a chew toy.

Perhaps she just doesn't momentarily know what to do with her foot then?

Or maybe like a baby sucking his toes then?
