My little girl has frito feet really bad and has been licking and chewing her right front paw. Even after her bath the frito smell would still be on her feet. I started washing her paws only with a mixture of about 1/8 t Dawn with a quarter of warm water after each bath and rinsing off the paws extra well. I do this about twice a week. The frito smell has left and she has quit chewing her paw. Could the frito smell have something to do with bacteria or yeast growing in between the pads and causing something like Athlete's Foot where it would itch? My vet didn't quite know what to say when I asked him about stinky feet and chewing on the paw. He shrugged it off to maybe a food allergy. I am going to try this for a few weeks and see if this is the answer I have been looking for.
