My Bullmastiff keeps licking her paws. I've checked them all to make sure there is nothing in them. They are all clear. But its all 4 paws. My husband thought it might be a deficiency of something. Can anyone give me some advice please? Thank you.

If she has been licking them for a while, then it might be an infection or an allergy.

If she's just suddenly started doing it, is there anything irritant that she could have walked through?

Best take her to the vets and get them to give her the once over.
try washing her paws in a solution of hibiscrub and warm water you can get this from the chemist i've just used this on a wound on my dog it might help its a lot dearer from the vets.
Could be harvest mites I've known a few dogs to get them at this time of the year, they are very difficult to see so best take her to the vet to be on the safe side.
I have heard of dogs licking/biting their paws as a displacement activity when they have anal gland problems.Worth checking.
