Some of you may know this, but I am having troubles with Lexie pooping in her kennel every time she is in there. Here is my question:
Could it have something to do with her food?
I am feeding her Innova Evo (Beau has food allergies to grains, not sure which ones though). She seems to have pretty big poops for a puppy, they are EXTREMELY greasy, and the smell clears the whole house if she poops in the house or her kennel.

When Lexie poos she has one normal consistency poo then a little squirt of nasty poop afterwards. Is this a sign of bad dog food? I thought at first it was because we switched her from the food her breeder had her one a little quickly because of how bad the quality was (Beniful) but her stool never really hardened in that last squirt.
Beau's poops aren't AS stinky as Lexie's, I mean I realize that poop shouldn't smell good, but the smell is like nothing I've smelt before...EVER. I can't ask my vet about it because she would just suggest Science Diet
I don't have a great variety of dog foods available to me but here are my choices (in case on is better than the Innova that she is one now):
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul, Eagle Pack, Innova Evo, California Natural, Nature's Variety, Wellness, and Solid Gold.
I don't really have time to homecook...I wish I did...
My other question is, would it help if I got her to sleep in her kennel? She really doesn't like it in there, I've tried it before, but if I was persistent and made her sleep there then maybe she wouldn't poop since it was her "sleeping spot". Does this make sense?
