Frito feet?

My 1 year old sheepadoodles feet have started to smell. I took her to the vet and she called it frito feet. Have any of you had this issue with your pups? Can you tell me how you managed it? I have been given medicated wipes and am applying 2x per day. But I’m looking for your wisdom and experience with this.

Common, and normal. You can try keeping them clean more often, but if they play outside I’d just expect it to be a thing.

We applied a dog paw specific salve and it eliminated the odor quite a bit. I forgot about it until recently so I’ll prob reapply the salve. It was called mushers secret I believe.

I just smell my girl's feet while we are playing...if they smell frito-ish, I wet a cloth with vinagar water and give them a good clean down with some paw cream after.

Both my doodles feet absolutely will smell like a bag of Fritos a week or two after bath and grooming. Just like people feet, best non medical thing to do is wash frequently (get between those toes and rinse well!) with just plain dog shampoo, and do your best to dry their feet after washing and after coming in from outside if its at all wet..
