Why do dog feet smell like corn chips?
I've noticed that dogs I snuggle with have toes that smell like fritos or corn chips...and this is not uncommon, other dog lovers have reported this too!

I personally am not sure why this is, but I found some articles online for you!

It looks like the primary answer is bacteria! Gross, but I suppose bacteria that causes frito smell is better than a lot of other smells it could be. Hope this helps!
Thanks Shey! This is helpful info.
This is normal and nothing to be alarmed about, it's actually due to natural bacteria on your dog's feed.
It is due to a natural yeast and bacteria found on the dogs feet. It is completely natural and normal
I just want to say I LOVE THIS QUESTION!! Made me chuckle!!
