It's actually quite normal, and the main reason for the "Frito Feet" odor is the presence of natural bacteria on your dog's paws.
Dogs primarily sweat through their paw pads, and when they sweat, it activates these bacteria, producing the distinct corn chip scent. That's why the smell becomes more pronounced when your dog is active.
