I have a six months old golden doodle puppy. I noticed that he licks his paws very often. Should I be concerned about this?

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Licking paws can be a sign of allergies. I would monitor for other signs of scratching or itching. Watch to be sure there is not swelling or signs of infection on the feet as well. Sometimes they can get infected due to moisture from licking. I hope this helps.
