The science behind that smell
“Frito feet.” You’ve probably heard of it. Maybe you’ve even smelled it. But have you ever actually researched it? This surprising common dog trait
Unless your dog helped themselves to a crunchy snack from the pantry, it’s unlikely that corn chips are the actual culprit. Chances are, the oddly familiar smell is something as unassuming as your pup's natural oil production or “B.O.” (yes, dog’s can have body odor too.)
In some cases, however, this aroma can signal something more problematic, so it’s always a safe bet to consult with your vet if you have concerns about your canine’s health.
So, how do you eliminate this (un)savory scent from your pooch’s paws? Barring any serious medical issues, the solution is usually as simple as wiping your dog’s feet after walks to eliminate debris and allergens, and making sure their nails and paws are regularly trimmed and groomed.
