Reply to comment by doitforthechurn in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65

Personally, I think there are MANY people who stiff their dogs. Typically, smaller dogs like Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, even Corgis.

The whole reason for this post was my wife talking about how her Chihuahua smells like corn chips. I wanted to know why, and I found out.

Also that’s like sniffing someone’s feet who walks barefoot everywhere. Again. Wtf.
