I’ve found that foot chewing is more a symptom of boredom than anything physical.
Jacks are seriously high energy, high maintenance dogs who need constant stimulation.
Just a thought.
I use a topical product called “revolution” that seems to work well with my dogs, and the cat.
I haven’t had any problems so far, and have been using this product since it came out.

It is not only foot chewing and licking, it's face and ear scratching as well. Like I said I have given her every medicine available including Atopica which is the same drug given to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs in humans. I gave her weekly injections for 2 years, to desensitize her against the things that she showed to be allergic to. I bathe her every 4 days and put stuff in her ears daily. Nothing helps except predinisone and that swells her up and makes her sluggish. I gave her Benadryl twice a day until just recently when it didn't seem to help and I switch her to Zyrtec. I feel sorry for the little girl but I don't know what else to do for her. She is more trouble than the other 3 dogs combined, 2 of which are JRTs.
