| Why??? (Another Poopie question) My vet doesn't know the anser to this question...... Why is it if you have two dogs, and they eat the same food, eat the same treats and drink the same water but when they poopie, one doesn't have much of an odor and the other one has a "strong" odor.? No matter what food I have feed, it is always the same result.

YT 2000 Club Member | Well, I am no expert, but I think it is because every dogs system is different and the food reacts differently. It might be the one with the odors has a sensitivity to something in the food!

| Probably the odor is from the amount of bacteria in the GI tract and poop of the one with the smelliest.

| Individual body chemistry. Haven't you ever had a friend use a perfume that smells divine, so you buy it for yourself, and it just doesn't smell the same on you as it does on your friend?

| I agree with the answers above. My boys are full brothers and eat the same foods. Max has zero body smell and his poop doesn't stink. Teddy has a baby smell and his poop stinks! It's part of his charm.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | This ^^^. Plus, the smellier poop may contain larger amounts of undigested food (fermented, stinkier). The one who has the smellier poo - did he ever have giardia or any tummy/GI sickness before? You may want to consider giving a probiotic if you suspect his GI's flora may be off.

| Since the odor in feces is usually due to bacterial action, I would guess that the presence of adequate bacteria to do the work of full digestion is what is so smelly and that the one who perhaps doesn't digest as well perhaps doesn't have adequate bacteria?

Teddy is sort of a nervous/anxious guy internally. He gets anxious waiting for his favorite activities. Would that be why he is more fragrant? I definitely think his body chemistry is different than Max's.

Was Teddy on antibiotics by any chance? It can kill both the good & bad bacterias, thus a recurrence of bad flora can happen making 'fragrant' poopies if probiotics are not given to replenish the good flora.

The one with the poopies that hardly smell has been on antibiotics for one thing or another over the years and can have a nervous stomach. Any deviation from a normal routine sets her up for diarrhea.

| Sounds like they could both benefit from Probiotics...

Teddy was on antibiotics once recently, but he has always had stinkier poops. The only other thing I can think of is that Teddy might be expressing his glands every time he poops, whereas Max only expresses outdoors.
