    A cure? You want to change the way your dog's feet smell?

    Just sniff them later in the day, when she's been out and about....the smell isn't as intense....and convince yourself that's the way they always smell.

    (sorta just kidding)

    No cure that I know of and it would probably be hard to get rid of completely. Anyway, you could look it up, there are lots of articles on Frito feet to be found, such as:

    Keep their feet away from your face? Considering they are probably walking on pee and poop too. Best not have those nasties in your face to begin with! LOL

    Last night my husband and I had an argument about whether Thor's feet smelled more like Fritos or popcorn. Dog people are weird.

    A good natural body deodorizer is chlorophyll. It's commonly given to bitches in season but I know of ski moms that make their kids take it during the ski season as their boots will smell like fries, lol.
    It would certainly not hurt to put pup on a good probiotic if not already there. You may want to talk to the folks at N-zymes.com about some of their other products too. I use the BacPak Plus here (probio/ digestive enzymes) but know they have products for yeast control etc too.

    Somewhere recently I read it signified a yeast infection. I don't believe that can always necessarily be true. Makes me crave a soft drink if Oban and I are cuddling and watching TV and I get the feet end.

    I don't want to do it, but with all this discussion I may just have to go smell some doggie feet!

    None of my dogs have ever had yeast infections....and every one of them, starting with my first Basenji, has had popcorn feet. (I never smelled the feet of my first dog...perhaps his smelled like that, too.)

    Funny...I would have taken you for someone who laid down with his pups (sometimes you get feet in the face). Check them out when the dogs have been sleeping...it's most intense before they start walking around.

    Nope, I know where those feet have been! Although I do get a foot in the face every now and then with Sophie when she hops in be with me in the morning after my wife gets up for work!
