Yeast Infections will cause your dog's feet to become red and inflamed. After the licking has gone on long enough, the hair on the feet will turn a brown-pink color. If your dog has dark fur and is licking his paws, check out the feet to make sure what you are dealing with.
At the end of this article is a link to treatments for yeast infections.
Other problems that are common with canines are nails that are too long. If the nail is too long it keeps jamming it back into the dog's foot causing pain.
Splinters
If your dog gets a splinter in his foot, the best thing to do is try to get it out yourself unless you can see that it's really deep or very infected.
A canine will become nervous if things do not stay stable because they needs a natural, calm routine.
Break the routine and you might have a dog that will try to compensate for the change by showing signs of anxiety and anxiousness and yes even cats lick their paws when upset.
Licking paws until you see hair loss is an interesting symptom.
Dogs will sometimes lick an area when they are feeling insecure.
The incessant licking can cause endorphins to be released and the dog feels better. And he keeps licking. I've watched my female lick her paw until I can't stand it any longer.
Her licking is almost on auto drive.
