Itching & Biting Paws

[pilates]

Has anyone tried and succeeded in giving their dog something to stop this happening?
There are lots on IG but would like to know how successful they are before purchasing. I changed his food to Royal Canin Hypoallergenic and not made a difference.

Try Leucillin Spray - it's brilliant!

Our Lab has been doing this. I saw the vet on tv talking about allergens being a reason for it and to wipe their paws down after walking. I think in her case it may have been something on her walks because she’s stopped since the weathers turned.

Thank you. I washed his paws tonight after his walk 🤞

my neighbours dog had a grass and grass seed allergy. had special bootees made to protect his paws. he was not impressed, but they worked. this was 20 years ago so maybe there are better treatments now. perhaps antihistamines.

I did wonder if it’s an allergy.

My Lab had this with Royal Canin. Swapped him to a different brand and fish-based and it's never recurred.

These kinds of issues are often caused by yeast infection and/or food intolerances. The high starch content of most cereal based kibble (including Royal Canin, which is over priced garbage, sorry) is often the cause, closely followed by chicken. Try switching to a better quality food, and if it doesn’t ease see the vet, one of mine had pseudomonas and a yeast infection in his feet and ears caused by these issues, and my vet said these were the most common causes.

Thanks I’m going to make a vet appointment. I feel like I’m going round in circles and it can’t be nice for him. I just want to get to the bottom of it.
