Just want to keep you updated: I have researched both our dogs for months and have confirmed… Jilly’s and Boo’s paws smell like Fritos!

Nasty.
July 15, 2009 at 1:24 pm
So, we’ve definitely noticed a frito-y smell every once and a while from our dogs. Glad to know our canines aren’t the only ones who smell like snacks.
July 15, 2009 at 1:31 pm
So we have confirmation – Fritos do not make your breath smell like dog butt, they make your breath smell like dog feet. Never eating Fritos.
July 15, 2009 at 1:40 pm
You all are too funny!
July 15, 2009 at 1:52 pm
No, no, it’s not the dog’s butt that smells like Fritos. It’s the paws. I’ve noticed this with my dogs, too.
July 15, 2009 at 1:59 pm
My dogs’ feet smell like Fritos too!
July 15, 2009 at 2:59 pm
My mom goes on about our dog’s “movie butter popcorn” feet.
July 15, 2009 at 3:57 pm
It’s Doggie B/O actually, Dogs sweat from there paw pads… I’ve heard other people say they smell fritos on there puppers too. Our Peanut has frito paws some times too.
July 15, 2009 at 4:07 pm
My dogs have Frito feet too. I kinda like it…
July 15, 2009 at 5:41 pm
I remember thinking that when our black lab was wet he smelled like Fritos. Must have been coming from his feet then!
July 15, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Our dog’s paws always smelled like popcorn. Wierd, but true.
July 15, 2009 at 9:37 pm
I’ve noticed my dog always smells like buttered popcorn also!! Now I need to smell his paws…
July 15, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Oh my god! That explains why the bed smells like chips after the dogs sleep there!
July 15, 2009 at 10:59 pm
My mom and brother both say my dog’s paws smell like Doritos. I think I’m missing something.
July 16, 2009 at 8:37 am
My husband thinks I’m crazy when I say the dog smells like taco chips! Now I can show him I’m not entirely insane!
July 16, 2009 at 11:28 am
Popcorn toes is a common knickname for our labs at home. Haha I thought our family was crazy but obviously not…
July 16, 2009 at 1:35 pm
all these comments are hysterical, you guys are the best lol
July 16, 2009 at 3:29 pm
haha, I agree, hysterical, and seriously are all you guys just going around smelling your dogs’ feet? It would never occur to me to smell my dog’s feet.
July 16, 2009 at 5:19 pm
That is too funny! I always thought our family was nuts for thinking that.
July 16, 2009 at 10:49 pm
OMG…I have Frito dog too…
July 17, 2009 at 8:18 am
My dog’s paws smell like Fritos, too. I tried to get my fiance to smell them, but he refused! He said he’d take my word for it! :)
July 17, 2009 at 9:30 am
It’s so very true. My dog’s feet smell like fritos too.
August 1, 2009 at 10:28 am
This is awesome. I’ve ALWAYS said my cats paws smell exactly like fritos and people look at me like I’m crazy. And maybe I am but they smell like fritos regardless. I feel vindicated
August 22, 2009 at 12:27 am
Huh, I always thought Fritos smelled like dogs — either way, I’m glad it’s not my imagination!
