Reply to comment by Hilppari 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

Yeah, I'm going to keep bathing my dog.

But why? dogs lived fine before the invention of pet shampoo. Only reason i can think to wash them is if they rolled in actual poop or have fleas.
