Cinematic smell on dog paws: That's why your four-legged friend's feet smell like popcorn. Microorganisms that populate the dog's skin are responsible for this.
The intensity of the scent varies from dog to dog and is related to other factors such as health and coat condition. If the popcorn note turns into a musty or unpleasant smell, you should care for the paws even more carefully. If there is a strong smell, the Vet Small Animal Clinic recommends a special dog shampoo and care balm.
