Doggie paws smell like Doritos. Don't ask me why.
Hmm.. our one dog had paws that smelled like Fritos i thought!

That smell is actually a fungus.

Monster developed that and had to take meds for it.

It can start between the paw pads and ears, folds of skin, and spread.

Wrong. Human sweat doesn't have a smell until it comes in contact with bacteria.

Dogs sweat through their feet. The sweat mixes with the bacteria and smells like corn chips.

It's perfectly normal and not a fungus.

weltschmerz · Guru

The corn chip smell is actually caused by bacteria on your dogs feet. It's natural and normal; most people say it reminds them of the smell of popcorn or corn chips. It's commonly referred to as "Frito Feet."
---------
It's nothing to be alarmed about. Your dog has trillions of bacteria living on its skin, even if he's the cleanest dog in the neighborhood. So do you. As Bill Bryson puts it "If you are in good health and averagely diligent about hygiene, you will have a herd of about one trillion bacteria grazing on your fleshy plains-about a hundred thousand of them on every square centimeter of skin."
The corn chip smell is a part of your dogs natural scent, but if it becomes bothersome you can trim the fur on your dogs feet.

Fritos. That's a good name for a Chihuahua.

Now I do enjoy Fritos from time to time...also Bugles!

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Ugh! I don't like Bugles! Fritos are good!

I thought dogs sweat by panting.

I don't think I'll ever eat a Frito again after reading this thread.

Dogs cool themselves through panting, but release sweat through their feet.

Both Fritos and Bugles are good with cream cheese and chive dip.

If it's all the same to you, I'm not going to take medical or veterinary advice from someone who has no concept of the yogurt/antibiotic connection, thinks butter or mustard is good for burns and insists the Frito smell is from a fungus.

Maybe YOUR dog had a fungus. Most don't. The Frito smell is perfectly normal.

I don't hate them, I just really dislike them. I don't like the way they smell, I don't like drool, I don't like anything about them.

My life would be so much less without dogs in it.

Kids smell & drool, too.

I can't even pet a dog without gagging. It's that dog smell. It just doesn't work with my olfactory system...

I can't imagine having a cat inside. I don't really like cats.

I think they can be cute but I don't really like them.

I swear every time we get a dog, I'll never have another one.

I don't do outdoor cats. My cats are indoors only. I think they make a house homey.

DH and I said after Sheba dies we are not getting another dog, and what did I catch him doing the other day? Looking at rescue sites!

It's weird. I use to love cats.

I had cats.

But for some reason, I just don't want them around me now.

I first noticed it when I was pregnant with Aaron.

I don't really care for cats either...
The funny thing is you would never know it when you see me with my cats. For as much as I don't necessarily like them, I take crazy good care of them. People that hear me talk about my cats and then see me with them are shocked.

I still don't understand how you ended up with cats.

Oh I get it.

A little kitten showed up here and I found it.

I loved on it till someone come to get it.

But then I couldn't wait to get a shower.

Ya big softie.

Right?

Here's the story:

G's DD is a cat FREAK. Like crazy cat lady freak. On her days off, she goes to the shelter and plays with the cats. FOR HOURS....

She was there one day when a lady and her daughter were adopting a kitten. They originally picked out Dex, but at the last minute decided on another kitten. DD was HEARTBORKEN. She called her dad crying and begging him to take the kitten because his little heart was just broken. He told her to call me. (arsehole... wink ). She told me that she would keep him while we were gone to the lake of town, but that she just could not put him back, she was really upset. Now mind you, he was 4 weeks old at the time and fit in the palm of my hand. He couldn't even get into the litter box by himself.

A couple of weeks later, I felt guilty that he didn't have anyone to keep him company while we were at work and call her and told her to get another one. Well, his sister, his litter mate, was the last of the litter not to be adopted, so we HAD to have her. They were meant to be together, right? confuse

So now I have a 26 pound panther and a 12 pound whiney schizoid cat.

And they are free for the taking... biggrin
