Thanks, so frustrating to find the cause of itching sometimes. Thankfully the only time I've had a dog that licked or scratched is one that licked it's paw from stress--I just changed his daily routine and that solved the problem. This and chronic ear infections are the two common things I've seen that drive dog owners crazy.

Thank you, Annelies. This article was very helpful, as my two dogs are showing their usual allergy symptoms and are biting their paws terribly.
