| Because it's poop. It may be something she is eating. Mine started a bit of canned food mixed w/ kibble and for a while their poop was stinkier than usual .But after they adjusted it was back to normal. Is she eating anything different. What kind of food is she on?

| I could be wrong, so please don't quote me on this... but I think the main two reasons for poop being really stinky are food not digesting well enough, or parasites. If she's otherwise healthy, I'd look at the food. Food allergies or crappy food can cause stinky poops, I think. We are having this problem ourselves right now, so I'm trying to do some research on it as well. We feed Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul, and Nikko's poop is consistently pretty soft (though firmer in the mornings!?!?) and really really stinky, like I-wanna-puke-when-I-smell-it-stinky. There's a slight possibility he still has parasites, but we're pretty sure we got rid of them all. The problem for us is that Chicken Soup is the best brand any shop around here sells - we kinda live a bit out in the middle of nowhere. So we're considering switching to Raw, a prey model diet. That way we don't have to deal with pet stores - everything we'd feed, we could find in our local grocery store. I've heard poops on raw are teeny, infrequent, solid, and even tend to dry up and blow away in the wind! Sounds like a dream come true at this point, on top of the other anecdotal reports of health benefits. But if you're not into the raw thing, check into what kibble you're feeding... something may not be digesting right, and there's always a different/better kibble to try. What do you feed now?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I agree w/ Lauren. I think you might want to try a different food - what are you feeding? If you let us know, we can help recommend one w/ different ingredients.

| I am in the process of changing foods. The breeder fed her puppy chow. However, I am in the process of switching her to blue buffalo. The poop starts off firm and by evening its soft. It smells so strong that you can smell it from another room. |
