my min pin is always licking the same leg, since he was a pup. why does he do this? and both my dogs seems to have a hard time caughting there breath, this is on occasion. i was told by the pet store that this is an  reverse sneeze. is this true. it seems to happen when they are excited

I had a dog who got yeast infections in her feet.  Before we figured it out, everywhere she slept stunk to high heaven.  It always happened in the summer when she spent time in the pool.  Once she started licking her feet all the time, I knew it was back.  A few days of washing her feet with Dermachlor Flush Plus took care of it.  No more stinky feet - for a few weeks anyway!  

Chica was really great about the treatement.  I let her stand up and picked up each paw the same way I would a horse needing hoof work.  Got to where she saw the bottle and stood stock still until I ran a hand down a leg and she immediately gave me her paw.  Made it really easy to work the Dermachlor in between her toe pads where it needed to be.

A frito type smell is normal but can be worsened when the pet is allergic.
If she licks and chews her feet this is likely the case
