Could be the lamb, could be the chews (some people here have commented that their dogs have stinky gas after bully sticks), or it could be that Tobi isn't chewing his food adequately and eating too fast.

I'm still wondering about the recommended servings on the bag. The food you are feeding is 410 kcal/cup. That means your pup is eating up to 820 calories per day, plus treats.

Every dog is different and has different needs. However, I can't help comparing to my very active 8.0 pound boy who has never eaten 400 calories in a single day, even when he was a pup.

I think many dog food brands suggest feeding too much.

Monitor Tobi's weight and make sure you can still feel his ribs. That is the best way to determine if the food is the right amount.
