  My pups feet smell like they raided a Fritos plant. My FH is a vet and he  gets that question all the time especially from children.

  My dog has frito feet. The link isn't working for me, but I heard that dogs sweat only in their feet. Does the article say that? Is frito feet dog BO?
  

  Here's the quote:

  
  

  "And what about “Frito feet”? You may notice sometimes that your pet’s paw pads smell like popcorn or corn chips. That’s because they’re crawling with billions and billions of microbes. If the smell becomes overwhelming, though, your pet’s yeast organisms may be out of control. If I give your pet’s paws a sniff, it’s not just because I love that smell — though I do — but also because I want to make sure no yeast infections are brewing."

  Huh. Never noticed that before. Now, male rats if they aren't hellbound to marinate in pee, they smell like Fritos. Female rats smell like grape soda.

  I have no idea what Fritos smell like but I do think that the smell on dog's paws must be their sweat, so...eww?

  Interesting. 

  
  

  My H's boss' dog had a whole body yeast infection for years. They didn't know and just thought he stank really bad. Poor guy.
