👉 The term "dogfoot" refers to a disease that is caused by bacteria, most commonly Streptococcus pyogenes. This bacterium can cause inflammation and tissue damage in the skin and soft tissues of dogs, leading to painful sores or ulcers. It is usually transmitted through contaminated dog feces or water contaminated with dog urine. Dogs with this condition are often treated with antibiotics and may need to be isolated from other animals until they recover completely.
