Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lazgah. Is he burying his stool in the litter as this will help to decrease the odor? If not, then I would try another litter type to see if he likes it better. Another option is to try another diet that may work better for him. It is always a good idea for him to see his veterinarian as well to ensure he does not have a health problem. I hope this information helps!
