My boy was just diagnosed with Atopy...he constantly chews at his feet because of it. Does anyone else have this problem?

I didn't know what Atopy was so I had to Google it::

I personally do not have experience with this, but I included the link which describes Atopy for those who don't know what it is.

Oh man Kody has been chewing at his at paws recently!

We have this problem with one of ours too (Glory). It is a huge pain that never goes away.

Yea....it's just something he recently started doing....we try not to let him chew when we catch him because we don't want him to make his feet raw....but I don't really know what else to do about it

We've made simple diet changes along with supplements that we give and try to bathe more frequently than we would otherwise. Using an oatmeal shampoo along with a moisturizing conditioner helps. All that stuff helps a little but doesn't make the problem go away. Glory is still regularly gnawing away at her feet but she does it less than she used to and I stop her when she starts working on her feet for too long.

My Mom's husky Sky has an ongoing itch under his chin and when left alone, he will scratch it until it bleeds...We thought it was food-related at first, and switched his food to one that didn't have chicken in it, but that didn't seem to work.
She usually puts the cone on him when she leaves the house and throughout the years has been putting a steroid cream on there or else a mix of water and vinegar. Her new vet also suggested giving him an antihistamine like Benadryl.
