Taste of the Wild is good, as is Innova, Canidae, Wellness,etc. I would probably change her to California Natural, since she may have food sensitivities.
I'm sure most of her health problems will improve once she is on a better diet. You will also have to feed her far less of a good food. It's not normal for a dog to be licking it's paws raw...bruised paws do not cause them to lick raw.
Change the food and you will see big improvements.

while beneful would not be my choice of a food there certainly isnt anything wrong with it all dogs differ and all foods have to meet a gov. standard but to say its not fit for any dog is a gross exageration. canadae and innova are 2 of the dog foods that are habitual offenders concerning food allergies(just to many ingrediants) if your dog truly is thought to have food alergies california natural is the way to go. any kind of injury whether it be a bruise a cut or a burn causes the dog to lick they will lick until the pain is gone because its the only thing they can do. if this happened before and your vet diagnosed it as a bruise and it went away after time( while on the same food) i would suggest she may have injured it again.
