A lot of dogs chew their paws because of allergies. How is pollen in Austin now? I wonder if the allergy season is kicking up for you there. This article gives a good overview of allergies in dogs. Unfortunately, often steroids are given for relief, but at the end of the article they mention that antihistamines can help, too. A lot of people give benadryl successfully.

Sprinking some baking soda into a tub of warm water, helps our Mally's feet.
(relieves the itches, and is healing, too)
I just lift him into the tub to get his feet wet and soaked for a little while.
Then lift him out onto a towel and dry each foot off really well. It does seem to help him.
