And there's a faint whiff of corn chip.
Yes -- my dog has Frito Feet.
I hate Fritos. I think it has something to do with childhood. I don't like the smell or the taste of corn chips (I don't like Bugles either).
"Frito Feet" seems to be the technical term, by the way. Lots of dog people I met have talked about it. And they LOVE it!
What causes Frito Feet? It's kind of a fungus that lives on dogs and cats. But when you have a dog that's been walking on their feet (and in the Florida summer, sweating between the pads, because that's where dogs sweat), sometimes the smell is a little strong there.
Is Frito Feet a problem? Not really, unless the smell is overpowering and a bit gross. That could mean there's a bigger problem.
How do you deal with it? Well, you see that fur between the pads? Try to keep that trim. That will keep the smell from getting worse. Also, regularly clean your dog and keep the pads dry.
I don't like the smell -- but I guess I can live with Frito Feet.
