Question
I have an 9month old Boston Terrier. He is quite large about 34lbs. I had a female that weighed 21lbs at full growth. The boston i have now seems to be getting redness around the mouth and his front paws. He seems to be licking his paws constantly. I feed him science diet/ lamb & rice and also mix homemade chicken and rice in his diet. I am concerned about the redness around his mouth and paws

Answer
Hello Barbara, Yes, he is a big Boston boy!!! I have one little Boston  boy here right now licking my foot, he is just 8 weeks old...SO CUTE!!

I can help the excessive licking and discoloration...
WE need to get him off the Science diet / slowly change him over to the SoJo home cooking - grain free or Wellness CORE - any of the Cores will do fine..
SoJo is home cooking for your baby - The sojo mix can be found at many pet stores or get it free shipping to your front door!
YOU add your own lightly cooked meats... MY Maltese loves MOM cooking the sojo for her!!

Also, the excessive licking is a sign of allergies / CAN be food related or Environmental ... The Science diet is full of Corn and JUNK - boy for the money they sure give you a poor food - poor ingredents in any of the Science Diet and Hills RX diets.

For the allegies / and just to Maintain great health give this boy 1 NuVET Plus Wafer each day - it will also protect his legs/ joints and hips / BOSTONS tend to get patella and joint troubles because of all the Jumping... This product will help to protect your baby.

OK, so we are going to get off the science diet and slowly work him over to the new food of your choice;  SoJo or Wellness grain free..
Make sure you get the green bag of SoJO or Wellness must be the CoRE brands.
Do a 50/50 mix of the old food and the new food for 2-3 weeks and then change over to the new food.

Start the NuVET ASAP - YOU will see the color change over in the mouth and paw in a matter of a few weeks.  YOU will see the licking just about stop by 3 weeks of being on the NuVET wafers.
