My dog won't stop licking paws. Is it food? Should I switch brands?

Question

Hi my dogs keeps on licking his paws and i know that excessive licking is not a good thing..I'm just wondering maybe because of of his food (?? But not 100% sure) . He is currently taking Performatrin brand of food and thinking to switch over to Royal Canin brand, do you think switching food will help me to stop my dog from licking his paw?Please advise. Thanks.

Switching his food will only help if this is a case of food allergy, but this is only one possibility among many other causes of allergies. changing his food without knowing if he has food allergy and to what ingredient exactly is a very long shot, but you can try an hypoallergenic diet if you want and see if it helps.
