Our Allergy Blend can help if your dog's itching is related to environmental allergens. However, food allergies can cause an immune system reaction and the paws are a common site for this type of inflammation. So, you may try our Allergy Blend and see if this works and if so great! If not, we have to address diet and digestion. Because wheat, soy and corn are often ingredients in processed pet foods and common allergens, your dog could benefit from a healthy, whole food diet. This diet can be home-prepared, a premix to which you add your own meat or a commercially prepared whole food diet. We offer suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog. Because poorly digested food can contribute to an immune reaction, our next step is to improve your dog's digestion and our Food Allergy Package can accomplish this for you and your dog. Lastly, I would just like to mention that vaccinations can contribute to itching and scratching, so we recommend that sensitive dogs be titer tested instead of automatically getting yearly booster shots to limit vaccinations as much as possible.
