Dogs with smelly urine, is it the food?
Hello,
I switched my two dogs about 3 months ago to Iams Active Maturity dry dog food. This summer I have really noticed that their urine smells extremely bad. We have a very small city back yard and I can smell it when I'm out there. I have never noticed this before when they were on their old food. Do you think it is the Iams?? What would be causing this? Any suggestions Both my dogs are large lab mixes 11 years old. Thanks Steve

Sometimes when a dog has a UTI the urine smells very strong. You may want
to have a sample tested. Marie "MHF" wrote in message ble.rogers.com... Hello, I switched my two dogs about 3 months ago to Iams Active Maturity dry dog food.
