so many doggies have frito feet and i have no idea why. whenever they come into the vet's office i just have to smell them because its so cute. Morgan has frito feet sometimes too and i love it. just now, while reading this thread i had to go and smell her feet to see if they were frito-ie today.

I just finished cutting out all the hair in between Azraels pads and then washing her feet really well. They are dry and do not smell like Fritos right now, but I'll bet tomorrow they will. I'm going to ask the Vet. about this. It has me going now.

LMAOOOOO

I am sooo with you there. I just smelled London cause she was in my lap and she doesn't smell like it to me. Nor have I ever noticed it in Teddy but it's hilarious!!

All 3 of my yorkies dont have fritoe feet at all right now but they havent been outside as much as the border collie today. The border collies feet do qualify as fritoe feet. I bet it has to do with the mixture of smells and stuff from outside. I keep all their paws trimmed and none of them have alot of hair there to hold odor, so im betting on the outside idea thingy,lol.

I'm not sure which it is or if it's a combination of both.

Well I definatley like those ideas.. better than my theory.
