Your dog does a lot of things extremely well, including chasing his tail. While this behavior may be amusing, it can also be a bit confusing. Why does he do this?

Tail chasing can be done for several reasons, so keep a careful eye on your pet when he takes part in this activity. He may simply be trying to have some fun and get some exercise. He may also notice that you are entertained by the action, so he could be continuing it for your benefit. He may simply be curious about this area of his body and be trying to access it to check it out, or there may be another reason for his interest, like and itch or an injury. Because of this, you should assess the area when he is trying to reach his tail to make sure there isn’t anything wrong. For more information, please contact your local Broken Arrow, OK vet clinic.
