For dogs, there are several reasons why they chase their tails:
- To pass the time when they're bored
- To attract their owner's attention
- To let their owner know they want to play
Some dogs can play with it all day long..
"Chasing tails" may be related to illness.
Injury:
If a dog is injured, it will lick the injured area to relieve the pain.
Anal gland inflammation:
Anal gland inflammation can make the dog's tail uncomfortable, and they might even bite their own tail.
There are parasites:
Parasites can make the dog's delicate anus feel itchy, and since they can't scratch it with their paws, they end up biting it.
Emotional issues:
For example, if thereare visitors at home, if the dog has separation anxiety, or even obsessive-compulsive disorder, it might exhibit the behavior of tail chasing.
If your dog really has a "tail-chasing" problem, then you need to be more careful in observing your dog to find out what causes this "tail-chasing" behavior!
