      I knew I wasn’t imagining it! I keep saying that my dog’s paws smell like popcorn, and my friends think I’m weird!

        It’s a bacteria that grows between their toe pads, it’s completely normal and not something to be worried about

          Oooh cool! I wasn’t really worried, but it’s cool to find out what causes it. Thank you!

    That smell is actually natural yeast produced by your dog.

    If the smell is strong, they may have an infection and you should discuss it further with a vet

    Edit to clarify: if the smell suddenly becomes much stronger than what it normally smells like*
