Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| For the past few weeks, Kemba has constantly been licking her paws. She doesn't seem to be chewing or biting at them, just licking. I looked at her pads and they are a little pink, but not raw. I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about.
The only thing I could think is that since now its spring, they have been using fertilizer or something on the grass in the park, or maybe she has seasonal allergies? Is this something common with huskies?

| It might be because she's bored, if she doesn't get enough exercise or mental stimulation. Other than that, the only other things I would think are allergies or something on her feet.
If it's from fertilizer in the parks, I would be concerned that she's eating it |

| The pink is from the saliva. She could be bored, or it could be an allergy. My friend's dog has this and it's a food allergy; she changed his food and it cleared up. Or it might be an infection that is making her paws itchy. |

^^^This^^^ A number of my parents dogs have had this issue, and a co-worker of mine is dealing with it currently. Hope you can narrow it down in a timely manner! |

| Not sure what type of food your give your pup but try a non grain food. Stay away from anything w/ corn in it. There are quite a few good foods, Taste of the wild & Orijen are 2 that pop into my head or if you shop at Costco try their Nature's Domain... i believe its made by the same company that makes TOTW. |

| She's been on the Origen puppy for the last year, in the last week we started switching her over to Acana Wild Praire. She is allergic to grains, but the Acana is also grain free. Today, I only gave her the Origen - maybe she's having an allergic reaction to the Acana. |

| I think it' an allergy too. My Dalmatian has been non-stop licking the top of his paw to the point he licked all the fur off. I took him to the vet and they said it was an allergy too and gave me some medication to put on it and keep it wrapped. They also suggested I give him Benadryl to see if that helps too. You could always put in a call to you're vet and see if it's ok if you're dog has one too. It wouldn't hurt anything just to see if it makes her more comfortable. |
