What That Constant Paw Licking Could Mean

Is your dog licking their paws nonstop, scratching at their ears, or scooting across the floor? These might seem like normal quirks, but they can also be signs of allergies. And for many dogs, allergies show up in unexpected ways.

Common symptoms include red, itchy skin, frequent ear infections, or constant paw chewing. Some dogs even get watery eyes or mild digestive issues. It’s not always easy to tell what’s triggering the reaction—anything from pollen to cleaning products to food ingredients could be to blame.

If your dog’s symptoms linger or seem to get worse with the seasons, talk to your vet.

With the right care plan, whether that’s allergy meds, a diet change, or simply switching shampoos, your pup can start feeling like themselves again.

Can Food Help Your Dog’s Allergies?

If your dog’s been itchy, picky, or dealing with constant belly issues, you know how frustrating it can be to find something that actually helps. For a lot of pet parents, the answer turns out to be simple: food.

It’s not about being fancy. It’s about feeding your dog meals with ingredients you can actually recognize without the mystery ā€œmeat mealsā€ or long chemical names. A fresh diet can also be gentler on sensitive stomachs and easier for dogs with allergies to handle.

Many pet parents say they noticed changes fast. Dogs seemed more energetic, had shinier coats, or stopped turning their nose up at dinner. For some, it felt like getting their happy dog back.

You don’t have to overhaul everything overnight, but it might be worth trying a little freshness. Sometimes, one bowl really can make a big difference.

Does Your Dog Have Allergies? Try This

Many dry, processed diets can trigger inflammation and make allergies harder to manage.

That’s why We Feed Raw takes a different approach. Their raw, protein-rich diets are free of highly refined carbs and weird fillers. Plus, they’re naturally anti-inflammatory. This means they can help protect your dog’s immune system from future allergies and reduce discomfort.

Delivered fresh and custom-tailored to your pup, We Feed Raw helps pups (and their parents) get more healthy days and fewer visits to the vet. Give your dog a happy, itch-free life by switching today and see results in as little as 1 week!

Dog of the Day, Penny

Daily Dig reader Melissa shared this photo of birthday girl Penny—a 12-year-old sassy floof who knows exactly how to celebrate in style.

This pointy-eared princess spends her special day living her best life: car rides, pup cups, shopping sprees at PetSmart, and park hangouts. Top it off with doggie ice cream and a birthday candle, and you've got one seriously pampered pup. When she’s not making birthday rounds, Penny enjoys long walks, splashing in water, and soaking up love from anyone willing to dish out belly rubs.
