Some folks notice their dog's feet smelling like the tasty snack Fritos...it's not your imagination. And don't worry, it's totally normal. The Frito feet phenomenon is due to the mixture of bacteria, fungi, and yeast that usually live harmoniously on your dog's skin, aka, the skin microbiome. Dogs can pick pseudomonas up from places the bacteria inhabits in the natural environment, like soil and water. So, when you take your dog for a romp in the park or a swim in the pond, there's a chance that they will pick up pseudomonas and may get Frito feet soon after.
