| Okay, this is gonna drive me crazy... me and hubby smelled all 4 of our dogs feet and none smelled like fritos. LOL. Maybe a tiny bit on Charlie's but that's questionable...Tobie's feet still have a puppy smell about them... I couldn't smell anything on Jasmine's and Caz just had super stinky feet which made me remember that he needs a bath! LOL. I'm going to be obsessed until I can smell these frito feet everyone keeps talking about!

| I've noticed that the 'Fritos' smell emerges after Momo licks his feet. It can be a mixture of sweat (do dogs sweat?) & saliva. His feet are not dirty bc we always wash it w/oatmeal shampoo after coming in from outside. I'm a groomer, so I think keeping the pad hairs trimmed is essential. It keeps dirt & stuff from sticking to it & its also more comfortable for the dog when they're walking on all fours. I have also noticed a peculiar smell on some dogs when blow-drying their paws. It's not the 'Fritos' or 'Popcorn' smell. Maybe that's the 'fungus' or 'yeast' smell.

YT 2000 Club Member | my toy poodle also has frito feet, so Im guessing that alot of the smaller breed dogs do. Her's usually smell more frito-y (is that even a word..lol) when she is due for bath. Tucker's do smell just not as strong as Lexee's..

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Bacteria and yeast are all around us and many are actually good, and keep things in check. Some people get yeast infections after a round of antibiotics because the antibiotics killed all bacteria even the good kind that kept yeast at bay. I wouldn't apply anything to feet to kill the bacteria, a weekly bath should keep everything in check, and some people wipe feet off after a trip outside, but I don't. I actually believe it's a mistake to be overly clean and kill all bacteria.

| I love it! We say that Sadie turns into a Corn Chip. I love it when she smells like that. Sometimes it is more prominent than other times. |

| check out Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth ( DE ) Powder - 8 oz.; Diatomaceous Earth can detoxify the body; this might help

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I can't take it...I'm gonna go the DIY route (do it yourself route) - I'm gonna buy a bag of Fritos and stick their paws in it, rubbing all around, then I will bask in their glorious Frito feet and finally feel like a part of the crowd.
