Pug chewing back feet at night: Could it be her food or allergies?

Question

Why is my pug constantly chewing on her back feet? She wakes me up at night trying to get to them. I've used sulfur and canola oil mixed up which helps but makes a mess. She eats grilled chicken which supplements her dry food. Could it be the chicken or something else? Her feet are washed and dried after she uses her pee pads. Thank you for your help. Vet visits cause so much trauma for her. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | spayed | 10 years and 6 months old
