Fez wouldn’t stop licking his feet. When I smelled them they smelled like Fritos. I had to wash him off to make him stop.
Editor’s note: if your pup’s feet smell like nachos or fritos, there’s a high likelihood that they have a yeast infection in between their toes. YUCK!

My ex and I wrote a ditty about the aroma of dog feet: “My dogs toes smell like Fritos/I can tell this with my nose/if he really had Fritos for toes/he’d have snacks wherever he goes….I wish I had Fritos for toes/the fact that I don’t really blows/cause if I had Fritos for toes/I’d have snacks wherever I goes!”

my dog wouldn’t stop licking her foot and she did it until she was limping…she ended up needing a cone and a steroid shot…she’s all better now.

If it smells like Fritos…..does it taste like Fritos?

My dogs feet have always smelled like ‘clean fritos’ I love the smell and they’ve never had a yeast infection.

A lot of dirty short-haired dogs smell like fritos. I think it’s the oil on their skin. If your dog is licking his feet, it’s more likely an allergy. One of my dogs has a ragweed allergy (hayfever). It’s a contact allergy, so it’s good to wash their feet regulary to keep it off them. And avoid the woods from August-November.

Constant licking of the feet.can also be a symptom of allergies.

Agree!

Dilute some apple cider vinegar and water. Half and half, Put in a container and put each foot in it and then dry or let dry. This will kill any yeast infection. I keep a spray bottle of this on hand to use when my dogs start scratching or licking!

constant foot licking is Not normal health and the most likely cause is food or environment (like grass) allergy.

My dogs first warning sign that he has his allergies acting up, is excessive paw licking. Keep an eye on that adorable face.

My dog did the same. Vets tried a lot of things, but my sister (who is in health care) told me to buy Zymox shampoo and rinse on Amazon. It solved it in one bath. This stuff is antibacterial and antifungal.
