Yorkie Yakker | New Food + stinky baby!! HI! I have just started a premium food called 'Evo' with my puppy, weaning her off of puppy chow brought by the breeder - she is now 17 weeks old. What is shocking to me is her very stinky farts on this new food!! Is this part of the transition - or does this happen with a meat diet? Thanks for the help! |

| Gah! Stupid phone! Anyway, It could be that Evo is too high in protein and/or fat and doesn't agree with her, especially if her previous food was significantly different. Toki used to get gas on Blue Buffalo Wilderness for puppies. She had a nice coat, good energy, and good poop but the gas was probably the only downside to that food. We went through a couple bags since she did pretty well with it but switching the kibble to something lower in protein pretty much stopped the stinky gas problem hopefully others will have some good advice too |

| She could have a sensitivity issue with this food, maybe try mixing it in with something else? Or even trying a different food altogether. My vet once told me in the early stages that they shouldn't get gas or stinky poop from their food if it's the right food for them. |

Yorkie Yakker | Well, that is what I was wondering-too much protein too soon...her stools are really....umm...'tight' looking; smaller than they used to be on Puppy Chow. I will try mixing the two brands in a leaner proportion for a couple of weeks. Thanks! |

| Its just that puppy chow is a really bad brand. Give the pup time to adjust. |
