๐พ Does your dog's paws smell like corn chips or stale popcorn? ๐ฝ๐
While many people think it's "just a dog smell," that ye**ty odour can actually be a sign of a yeast overgrowth on the skin.
Yeast loves warm, moist paws, and dogs with allergies, excessive licking, or damp feet are especially prone to developing these infections. Left untreated, they can become very itchy, sore, and uncomfortable.
Keep an eye out for:
๐พ Persistent licking or chewing of the paws
๐พ Red, inflamed skin between the toes
๐พ Brown staining from saliva
๐พ A strong, musty or "corn chip" smell
The good news? Yeast infections are very treatableโbut it's important to identify and manage the underlying cause as well, especially if they're recurring.
If your dog's paws have become smelly, itchy, or red, book them in for a check-up. We'd be happy to help get those paws feeling comfortable again! ๐ถ๐
