White dogs are more prone to itchy skin. Dogs certainly can have food Allergies, but much of the time it can be the heat (if it's hot) or even in the house where the skin can get dry. Try using an Oatmeal Dog Shampoo from your pet store. Rub in, leave for five minutes and rinse well. STOP USING HAIR DRYERS TO DRY YOUR DOG OFF and get as much of the dampness off your dog with a towel and then let them air dry themselves. Be sure, if it's cold that your dog doesn't get chilled. Of this doesn't work and your dog has no fleas, then you should take your dog into a vet. They will determine if it's dermatitis, fleas or food allergies. I have a Bichon Frise X and I just had to put her on low doses of Cortisone because she was scratching herself raw. She's white, had no fleas and was fine before on her diet. Of course Cortisone should be used short-term and not often. Remember, just like people dogs can get allergies from the changing of weather (pollens.)

Does the tamarind drink cause allergy?

If you are allergic to tamarind or one of the composant of the juice, then obviously yes. It could be however a 'cross allergy' (contact with tamarin triggers an allergy to another substance, from which you are allergic, for example some sort of pollen). Please consult a specialist for more informations or more accurate informations.


Your dog licking his paw till it bleeds?

This probably has to do with the surface the dog is walking on. The pads on a dogs feet can get chapped and begin to crack. If the dog lives in a cold area then it's paws are likely chapped. The dog is likely to be licking it's paws for these reasons too, but I don't think the licking is what was causing the problem in the first place.Another AnswerThe most common reason for a dog to lick their paws until they bleed is because they are itchy, caused by some allergy. It could be an outdoor allergy, such as grass or pollen. It could be an indoor allergy due to chemicals on carpet, such as new carpet, recently cleaned carpets or possibly the floor cleaner used on hard floors. It is usually something the dogs feet come in contact with when they are itching that bad. I would put an antibiotic/itch relief ointment (human type is fine) in between the toes and pads about three times a day and cover it with a sock. If you are unable to figure out what is causing the allergy and/or it doesn't clear please see your vet. The constant itching can drive your dog crazy!
