Eternal Questions

Sounds like someone may be getting into your snacks. Have you checked their paws for Fritos dust?

Why do dog's feet smell like Fritos?

And how sweet it is.

Like us, they have most of their sweat glands in their feet.  If the breed is any type of hound, the frito effect is more pronounced.  (In my experience.)  So it might also be the additional doggie oils combined with the sweaty feet.

Ooooooooooooookay. Let's turn it around: why does doggie footsweat smell like fried cornmeal?

Sheesh.

Natural Bacteria

This corn chips smell is usually caused by some bacteria that are completely natural yet give off a kind of yeasty odor, particularly the bacteria Proteus or Pseudomonas. Many pet owners say they actually ENJOY this smell, so you can relax.

As one Pets Adviser reader tells us, maybe you should flip things around and ask instead, “Why do Fritos smell like my dog’s feet?”

I don't mind the smell, in fact I rather like it. My cat's feet smell like dirt, unless she's just groomed them (which she does immediately upon returning indoors) after which they smell like nothing.

Part of the worldwide cat plot to become invisible and undetectable.

Why are T-shirts and T-bags made of different material?

How smart do you have to be to realize you're an idiot -- and does that preclude you from being one?
