You need to stop her from licking her paws whether it's from allergies or something else. She'll most likely end up with either a raw paw or an infection. Allergies are most often triggered by food so whether or not it's allergy season probably makes no difference. Chester has bad allergies to food and some inhalents, so I know from which I speak (he went for his monthly allergy shot today ) . It can become an obsession and they can lick the hair off and then the skin, leaving it a raw, open breeding ground for infection.
