You know we got new carpeting in July and got Gracie the end of September. I haven't noticed that she chews on her paws at all. Only licks them when she has the sore on the paw. When the sore goes away, she doesn't bother with her paws.

Ashleere, what kind of dog food do you feed your dog? I know corn & corn meal in dog foods can cause them to bite & chew their paws. Did the vet reccomend any specific kind of dog food to you?
