Reply to comment by DanishWonder 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

We are just different animals. Cats feet don't smell like fritos either and they are in same environment barefoot. It is just a doggo thing.

Our dogs rarely bathe and wear no deodorant but their armpits don't smell because they don't sweat. Just different animals, that's all :)

Porcupine bo smells like human bo. Tripped me out. Binturong bo smelled like buttered popcorn. Bacterial odors can be interesting
