She could be itchy - some dogs with allergies can have itchy skin after going outside. This could also be how she reacts to being stimulated by exercise. If you think she may be itchy or if her skin looks red after going outside you could see if your veterinarian can recommend an oral or topical medication to help her feel more comfortable.

Dogs may chew on their feet for a number of reasons. The most common of these is underlying allergies to either environmental or food allergens. Nearly anything can cause an allergic response, and these reactions in dogs typically lead to itching, which often manifests as chewing on or licking the feet. Other causes of foot chewing include foreign material in the paw pads or nail beds, infection in the skin or pads of the feet, problems with the toenails, pain, or obsessive behavioral issues. A trip to the veterinarian is best in order to examine your dog’s feet, perform any necessary diagnostic tests, and determine the best course of treatment. Allergy management strategies, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or anxiety medication may be needed to help get your dog’s foot chewing under control.

Check the leg and foot for any injuries, stickers in the paw, broken nails, swellings, etc. If you notice anything then get her to a vet for an exam. If no injuries are found then wash her off in case she came into contact with a chemical that is causing a reaction and rest her. If no improvement then take her to a vet for an exam.

It is unlikely that there is something contagious between the two dogs, unless they both have fleas or some sort of skin parasite? If they are not getting better, probably a good idea to have them checked by your vet?

I'm sorry to hear that Mister has been chewing on his feet. Dogs can chew on their feet for a variety of reasons, including allergies (food or something he is walking in), a skin infection (bacterial or fungal), skin mites, or anxiety (similar to a person who bites their nails when stressed). I would recommend Mister be seen by his regular veterinarian to determine the underlying cause for his chewing behavior, have any necessary diagnostics done (allergy testing, skin scrapes, etc) and get started on a treatment plan to hopefully help resolve the issue.

Allergies are the most common cause of itchy feet in dogs. Sometimes dog will chew to the point that they develop a skin infection, so if Charlie has redness or discharge between the toes or if she is chewing constantly you may want to have your vet take a look. I also recommend wiping feet every time Charlie comes inside from outdoors since some allergens like pollens can be absorbed through the feet.
