Should I do anything if my puppy gets gassy? He hasn’t had a change of diet or eaten anything spoiled but his farts are really smelly.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely due to a sensitivity to his food. You may start by switching his diet to something else by switching the protein and the carbohydrate to see if that makes it better. That alone is likely to improve this. Good luck and have a great day!
