Question
MY BEAGLE HAS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS "FRITO FEET"  HIS FEET STINK LIKE FRITOS.  HIS BODY SMELLS NICE AND WE BATHE HIM REGULARLY BUT ONE DAY AFTER HAVING A BATH HIS FEET STINK LIKE FRITOS. HELP!!!!!!

Answer
Hi, well I have to tell you I got a chuckle out of your email. My female beagle has a problem with blocked tear ducts in her eyes and so they drain a lot and my son has always said that she smells like birdseed!(whatever birdseed smells like?)

Seriously though, as long as you have carefully checked his feet and there is nothing physically wrong with them I would not worry about it. My beagles have an odor to their feet too but it isn't something I can change or determine the origin of. Just be glad they smell like Fritos and not something really nasty! It is a combination of his oils and scent and whatever he walks on.
