2 of our 3 Chi's chew their nails but it is usually in conjunction with 
cleaning out their ears.  They use their paws like a Q-tip to clean their ears 
then lick off their paw and chew the nails a bit as a result.  Our dainty girl 
seems obsessed by the hair between her back toes.  she licks and licks at it 
like she wants it out of there.  It is like a ritual she does before she goes 
to sleep.  None of the chewing/licking causes any hot spots or anything 
problematic so we just let 'em do it! It's such a dog thing!
