I have a lab and the bottom of her paws always smells like old dirty socks and that smell clings onto the carpets. Does anyone else have that problem?

is it only after she goes outside.. or all the time?
she could possible have some type of infection.. check her paws for cuts and sores...
if it occurs alot after she goes outside.. its dog sweat... they sweat from their paws and nose

Yea, my dog always got the old corn chip feet a few days after her bath. You can try to wash her paws when you bring her in from outside. They make some wipes that are specially made for dogs, but regular baby wipes will do the trick just fine (people also use them to clean the creases in wrinkly faced dogs because they will smell as well). Be sure to get in between the toes and around the bottom pad. The smell will return in a few days though, so either be consistent about cleaning, or try to get used to it. If you think it's especially potent though, take her to the vet because it could be a sign of something worse. Generally speaking though, all dogs will have that smell because that's where they sweat.

All dogs have stinky feet!!! Try using baby wipes doesn't matter what kind. It helps but doesn't take the smell completely away. Paws are where the dogs sweat so you can't do anything about that.
I use whatever 's on sale at the time.

Dogs' feet have that same stinky feet smell that people have. Try this experiment: close your eyes and have an assistant bring your dog's paw to you nose for you to smell. Can you tell a back paw from a front paw by smelling it? I can.

Ya know what's funny? My little cousin, who's about 10 mentioned that his dog's paws smell like Fritos....I smelled my dog's paws, and it's so true! But yes, kinda dirty...they walk on them all day what do you expect? Try a bath.

When is the last time you emptied all the litter in it's box and put in new litter? Just a possibility. I never noticed my cat's paws being stinky unless they had stepped in something stinky.

Both of my dogs have stinky paws...it's where they sweat, so they will always have smelly feet.
It's sad how a grown man such as I can be found at home playing with my stupid chihuahua and westie, saying "You gots stinky feets!"

Yep. I have a Shitzu named Ziggy that has smelly feel, kind of like Frito's. I buy these wipes at the pet store and wipe his feet with them. It gets rid of it. They come in a container like baby wipes.
