Foot licking. No sound on Earth is harder to ignore! Which is probably why this is my most requested hack…
I created my 2 minute itchy feet hack to help put an end to that foot and belly irritation that must be so frustrating for dogs and cats.
But why do they do that (suprisingly loud) licking? Well, it’s all coming from grasses and weeds they’ve been walking on. When the sap gets crushed onto the sensitive skin between their toes, the proteins set off an allergic reaction. Their only way to tackle that irritation is to lick!
So here it is...
There are two key things going on here. Not only are you washing away the grass and weed proteins causing the sensitivity, you're also soothing their skin.
Here are the steps to make it super easy!
- Grab a sink, a tub or even a cat litter tray.
- Fill it with water so it's around 10cm (4 inches deep)
- Add a squirt of Soothe My Skin Wash and mix it around.
- After each walk on grass, let them stand in the bath for 1 minute for front feet and 1 minute for back feet.
- Finish by giving that belly of their a splash to wash away the allergens there
It's such an easy way to manage that quite remarkable sound of licking. It'll give you both some much needed relief!
And for dogs who don't love baths, this might just be the perfect compromise!
