Why do dogs paws smell like fritos (brand of chips)???

Do you know where they put their feet in? They step in their own waste sometimes, as well as other dogs’ waste. Plus they are always on their bare feet….they aren’t going to smell like roses, unless you carry them everywhere.

well all my dogs paws smell the same i have 3 different breeds too

haha well they smell like fritos go smell your dogs feet if you have one!! haha

I have cats, they are inside cats. My last dogs’ paws didn’t smell like anything.

i agree

haha yaa!!

:P heelloow

lol…my dog doesnt smell..lol i have a cat and my uncle has a dog..hes so cute..lol well every dog is

Yes, but think of animals in different environments as well. All your dogs are living in the same area.

i would never smell my dogs feets..well paws..lol just seems wrong..smelling your dogs paws,

But you just said you agreed with the statement that dogs paws smell like fritos? And now you’re saying you don’t know.

Do you smell your dog’s butt too? I bet it smells like Fritos too. Or maybe Cocoa Puffs. xD. I bet you $5 that it smells like a dog’s butt should smell. Lol.

Why are you so interested in smelling your dog’s paws anyway?

WOOOOW And your answer was marked helpful. How?

you meanie NO i do not!! haha well my friends told me they smell like fritos so i smelt my dogs paws and they do!

me…? no idea…i didt start the conversation dude..and wtf would someone smell there dogs but> why would you even bet on how it would smell..i’m not betting if ya talking to mw..thats just retarded!!!

The person who asked the question likely.

lool your random katilin..and who were u speaking too!

There are actually people who do go as far as smelling butts. Lol. Your friends go around smelling the paws of animals? Wow, talk about being bored.

lool

hey it was :)

I rather think they smell like Doritos, to be honest…and it isn’t because I sit there smelling their feet - sometimes, you can just smell them. Apparently it has something to do with the fur between the pads of their feet.

HA!!!!!!!!!! dude!!!!! i was wondering the exact same thing…..not that i smell my dogs feet on pourpose lol. like when she sleeps by my head i have the unfortunate experiance of getting a whiff of em……strange….i thought i was crazaaayyy

My dogs also have the “Frito” smell- particularly in the morning when they wake up. I found this answer on [link removed] and I think it is an accurate answer for your question.

 A dog does not have sweat glands in their skin or in their armpits the way we do. They sweat through the pads on the bottom of their feet. Apocrine glands in humans produce sweat but in dogs those same glands secrete the pheromones that give the dog itsí own peculiar odor. It also helps seal the outer layer pf the skin, but it doesnít produce sweat. The eccrine glands in a dogs paws release a substance much like human perspiration. Nerves, stress and heat can cause the release of that water like substance and the dog may leave behind damp paw prints as they walk.
 So, in short:  dog sweat has an odor like Fritos! :)
