I have a golden who chews and licks his paws. I use Nizoral Dandruff Shampoo to wash his feet. It is antifungal and a treatment usually lasts about two weeks before he starts again. I leave it on his feet for 5 - 10 minutes. There are probably other types of dandruff shampoo that work but this has worked the best for me. I have also used foot powders for athlete's foot ,which does help, but I worry about him licking it as well. I have not seen him licking his paws after an applicaton but maybe it tastes bad so he doesn't bother. I have only used the foot powder when it has been wet outside and his paws havre remained damp for long periods of time.
