Allergies are a common problem that leads to licking of the feet (especially when multiple feet are involved) and other areas. Allergies can be environmental, food, or flea related. Treatment includes anti-histamines, frequent bathing, omega-3 fatty acids, anti-biotics/antifungal (for secondary infections), steroids, immune modulating drugs, and allergy shots.
There are some immune mediated diseases that can lead to cracking, discomfort, and chewing of the pads as well. Treatment includes steroids and/or immune modulating drugs.
Have your dog examined by a veterinarian who will help you form a good treatment plan.
