My dog has recently started licking one of her paws obsessively. I can’t really see anything wrong with it, but she won’t stop. I’m not sure if I need to see the vet or not since there is no obvious issue. The sound the licking makes is not awesome, and I am worried there might be something else going on, but I am not sure it’s time for the vet. When is it time to call the vet, and what can I try to stop this obsessive licking?

There’s no wrong time to call the vet – if you’re concerned for your pup, always call your vet. They are your first and foremost authoritative resource when it comes to your pet’s wellness.
That being said (and thanks for sharing your photo), from what I can tell your pup’s paw doesn’t look like it’s in bad shape, so if they’re licking their paw but not causing any damage, I wouldn’t be overly concerned.
We have an article covering the best home remedies for paw licking you may be interested in.
