Frito Feet ⊠Ask any dog owner, and theyâll tell you that sometimes their dogâs paws smell like corn chips. No, your dog didnât get into your chips stash â itâs simply a naturally occurring bacteria that lives on your dog's paws that, for some reason, has the same smell as corn chips. In fact, the phenomenon is often referred to as "Frito Feet." Vets say the smell is really nothing to worry about. In most cases, the worst effect it has is causing guacamole cravings. (The Takeout)
