My dog's toes smell like corn chips. I feed her Kirkland lamb and rice dog food, which I don't think has a ton of corn in it.

There's a bacterial infection which is notorious for smelling like corn tortillas. Do her toes look pretty healthy, or is there anything unusual looking about the area, like redness or wetness? Does she lick at her toes a lot?

They do seem pretty clean and normal looking. They don't bother her any (in that I never really see her licking them that much). That's pretty interesting though, I hadn't heard about an infection that causes that. – Paul♦ Jan 25 at 13:05

Dogs have scent glands in their feet. They wipe their feet after going to the bathroom to further mark their territory.
