off eating anything. Thank God it's not constant; albeit frequent, it is
still sporadic.

Well, if it is not constant and you find the variables that control
it then you can eliminate it.

Is your dog spayed? If not how does the odor covary
with her estrus cycle?

I googled "dog smelly feet." Some of these are funny.

I've noticed recently,that a few of my latest grooming clients have reported
"smelly feet" when they drop their dogs off for grooming.Between me and my
gals at work,none of us can come up with a reason for this phenomenon.My
best advice...stop smelling you're dogs feet...Im sure they wouldn't want to
smell yours!!!(Sorry I couldn't resist)

Hey, I've got an interesting observation about the smell of a dog's feet
(pads). I've always noticed that when my dogs are sleeping, their feet tend
to smell vaguely similar to cornchips, or Fritos. All my dogs feet have
smelled like this... has anyone ever noticed the peculiar smell, or am I
just strange? If you're not familiar with the smell of cornchips, buy a bag
and take a good whiff. Then go smell yer dog's feet while they're sleeping.
You'll understand what I'm talking about!

I love frito feet! I've noticed my dogs' feet usually smell the strongest
while/after they've been sleeping, especially if they sleep under the
covers. Probably something similar to people BO. And yes, I'm weird, I
purposefully pick up my dogs feet when they're sleeping and take a big deep
whiff! To me it's a happy dog restful scent.

One problem with smelly dogs can be a bacterial infection in
the normal oil, others produce too much oil leading to the
nasty smelling dog. See if your vet can help and if this
doesn't help another alternative is referral to a
veterinary dermatologist. I have a basset and one thing
that helped his odor is weekly bathing a coal tar shampoo

I knew a woman who's dog had this exact problem. The thing really smelled
awful! After trying all kinds of ointments, she finally took it to the vet.
The dog had a bacterial infection on it's skin. Cleared right up. I'd
strongly suggest you make a stop by your vet's office. This may be simple to
take care of.

Lyn,

I can't help you with the stinky feet, but the odor in your car I can help
with. There's a product called "OdoBan" on the market. It's an
industrial
strength multipurpose antibacterial/virucidal disinfectant. It's
biodegradable and contains no dyes. We bought it at Sam's Club. I've
heard
it's also available at Costco. We bought a gallon, which is concentrated
and makes up to 32 gallons when mixed.. You mix 5 oz. to a gallon of
water.
We put ours in a spray bottle, spray where needed, wait a moment or two
and
wipe up. It works on porous and nonporous surfaces. I've used it in my
car, on my furniture, to mop the floor, clean kitchen counters, wipe out
dog
crates, etc. It REALLY works.

When I first found out about it I was walking through Sam's Club and a
lady
was doing a demo. She sprayed pure vinegar onto a paper towel and had me
smell it to make sure it was strong. PU -! It stunk. She then sprayed
one
squirt of OdoBan and every bit of the odor was gone instantly. I've used
it
where my puppy has peed on the carpet and furniture, and there's no trace
of
any odor at all. It also is a mold/mildew inhibitor and removes stains
from
almost everything, including laundry.

OdoBan is manufactured by:
Clean Control Corporation
PO Box 7444
Warner Robins, GA 31095
(912)922-5340

Hope this helps.

Tessa, my basenji mix, has the stinkiest dog feet in the world. (PU!!!)
The problem is that, due to this, the back of my car where I tote the
dogs
now smells terrible. I have tried cleaning it with Nature's Miracle,
and
also Febreese, to no avail (and my other dog HATES Febreese). I have
used
every carpet cleaner in the world. It still stinks after a day or so.

Any suggestions for de-putrifying my car?!? I am desparate.

BTW, I don't think the foot odor is from diet, as she eats Eukanuba
light,
and has an occassional fishy kitty food snack.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lyn

Two recent puppies came from the breeder on Eukanuba. (It makes puppies fat,

wasn't.
The smelly went away when I switched to FRR.

Have you looked closely at her feet? Many dogs' feet "break out" when
they are allergic to something. If her feet are red and irritated,
that could be the cause of the smell problem.

Maya, dogs sweat from their feet. My guys feet mostly smell like gym
shoes--they're outside most of the day--at least they smell better than my
husband's!!!!

My 6 YO GSD has stinky feet. Have had her to the vet twice about the
smell, and he doens't seem too alarmed about the smell. He said GSD's
have a lot of hair on their feet which will hold smells. Her feet never
stunk until about a year ago. The smell is like the smell of something
stale, like old grease. He put her on a regimine of betadine solution
soaks twice a day, and vinegar washes 3 times a week. This has not
helped. Anyone else experience stinky feet, and were you able to get
rid of it? (Please note, this is not the smell of something she stepped
in.)

Thanks

Do they smell like fritos? My collie had frito feet. It occurs in about 25%
of
all dogs. Don't know why....

Guess because dogs do sweat from their pads,they can have the same problem
as
some people.You could always try using medicated baby powder between the
pads to absorb the sweat.

Ive heard this a few times in my grooming shop from clients,and the same
thing always enters my mind...
Stop smelling your dogs feet!!!(Its a joke folks,dont get offended)
