    Daschund's poops smells really bad.
    Hi.. I am new here.. I just want to seek answers to my problem now.. I have a 1 1/2 year old daschund and his poop smells so bad. It smells like stinky fish but there's no blood in it. I gave him antibiotic as prescribed by the vet almost a month ago and he got well but this time it came again. He sometimes don't eat well. What can I do? Please help me... thanks!

    Are you feeding him quality food? It may be a result of a low quality food, without the proper nutrients. Do you buy a "generic brand" food? A lot of supermarket brands have fillers and by-products, that give your dog the "full" feeling, but are not healthy for them.

    It is somewhat more expensive to buy a quality dog food, although if you have the time, you CAN make healthier food on your own if you do the research, and make sure your dog gets all of the healthy nutrients he needs. His poop shouldn't be smelling so bad, if he is fed the correct food for his particular needs. If he has a clean bill of health from your vet, I would have to assume it is the food you are feeding him.

    Good Luck! :)
