SeeGee Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Pretty self explanitory. Charlies paws stink, even after a bath (one a fortnightish, with aloveen) I have been scrubbing them with a nail brush. They dont look manky, they just smell. he gets a raw diet.

persephone Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Dog's feet are the only part that sweat. As you know- sweat can get smelly when exposed to teh air,and when bacteria do their work Does Charlie lick at his feet much? Instead of a nailbrush- just rinse in clean warm water every night..and DRY gently and thoroughly with a towel. if he tries to lick- distract him.. as bacteria from his saliva just get straight to work on that lovely sweat if his feet are being licked- or look at all pink/red.. might be an idea to see a vet- there are reactions like that from yeast/fungi/allergies.

Tilly Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 My older boy had stinky feet ... I used Malaseb medicated shampoo. I was told to make up a solution and sit the dogs feet in it for about 10 minutes and then rinse and dry thoroughly ... like I had any chance of the dog staying still for 5 seconds let along 10 minutes. I ended up wetting his paws, pouring a small amount on his paw (one at a time) and the massaged it in and then rinsed. I only did it twice before the smell was completely gone.

poodlefan Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 He is a beautiful beagle Apparently he is a stinky Beagle too!!! Sorry, no ideas. If he'd been a fluffy I'd have suggested clipping out the underside of his feet. You could always not sniff them I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny, i swear my feet have smelt similar a few years back but I cant remember why. RE: Malaseb medicated shampoo.- my next plan of action!

SeeGee Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Persephone, i will wash his feet every night - cant i use soap? and dry them until i get the malesab. I probably dont dry his feet properly when I wash him me bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavsRcute Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 My Cavalier gets that smell sometimes when her feet get wet walking on the oval in the morning...it sort of smells like corn chips I make sure her feet are clipped and dry them really well. Sometimes I will wash them in Aloveen and then dry them with the hairdryer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 The malaseb will kill any 'nasties' on his feet ... shouldn't need to do it very many times at all! I wouldn't use soap too often - it takes away the oils ,and it will not kill any bacteria/fungus - so why bother ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 yep the old corn chip smell. i think it means he has a yeast infection. malaseb will fix it up.my boston has this sometimes I've been told that dogs secrete something that smells a bit like corn chips between their toes . . . it apparently serves some sort of appeasement function in dog communication. My dog trainer/friend told me this . .. I think she learned it in NDTF classes. I wouldn't bother trying to wash it off . . . just stop smelling your dog's feet if you don't like the smell.

moosepup Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Anyone else tempted to go give their dogs feet a good sniff?

Elsha_UK_AU Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 My last Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (RIP) paws smelt like Milk Arrowroot Biscuits and I thought they were so cute...(mind you, it was probably a mixture of sweat and dog pee) My husband made me smell D'Artagnans paws and they smell like Milk Arrowroot Biscuits too Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
