licking obsession

Question
I have a male- lhasa opso- he is obsessed with licking his paw,he will lick it constantly and obsessively for long periods of time.  What does this mean? Is it problem?

Answer
Hi Marianne!  It sounds as though your little guy has some allergies!  The number one cause of allergies are food allergies.  I have a Shih Tzu who has allergies due to food and I had changed his food to Solid Gold brand dog food.  This is a more holistic dog food, with all natural ingredients and no by-products.  My dog has really benefited from this food, perhaps yours will too?
