What may cause this and I am just guessing at this time. I see people walking dogs down the street using a long leader leash. The dogs are being walked on the lawns of the neighborhood instead of the pavement. The lawns here are loaded with all kinds of chemicals and pesticides. I think the chemicals are being absorbed thru the dogs padding on their paws. The dogs also lick their paws so that's another way to get it in their systems. Just a thought.
