Stinky Feet

My boxer Dryfus has a foot odour problem, his feet smell like my teenagers sweaty gym sneakers (all four of his feet) I can't see why they would smell like this as they are never covered up, could it be something in his diet? His feet are particullarilly delightful when he cuddles up to me at night.
Do any other boxers out there have this problem

I’ve noticed Xena’s feet smell like grass and mud. Every other day or so, I just stand her in the bath tub with about 3 inches of water and scrub her nails with her shampoo and nail brush and clean between her pads.

Could it be a fungus? Seems strange that they are so stinky. Maybe you should have the vet check it out? -Mariah

Yea, I think this is a little concerning. I had heard so many people on here tell how their boxers feet smell good, some said like fritos, so I sniffed and yep, mine smell like fritos too. We are always sniffing our dogs when we are luving them up, fur, feet, ears, we are sooooo enamored!

You may want to have your vet check them out. That could be a sign of a yeast infection. Junior had that last December, he was licking alot, and in between his paddies were all red. She gave us some liquid stuff to put on that fixed it up.
