how much wet/cannned dog food and also, stinkier poo?

[sheisaeval]

So I've had my dog for a week now, and yesterday was the first time I fed it canned (wet) food, and it gobbled it all down, so I think I realize that I probably should feed him the wet mixed with dry food, or smaller portions of the wet? How often and how much should I feed him canned food vs the dry?

Also, sort of a weird topic, but I noticed this morning when he poopied it was a bit smellier than usual, is that because of the wet food?

What kind of wet food did you use? Any of the cheaper foods and wet foods make their poop smell. Coconut is on science diet dry but I give her some of the science diet can to keep weight on her and it isn't messy. Her poop really doesn't have a smell.

Not sure if the quality of food makes the poop have less smell. I have fed Bella only the highest rated canned foods (Innova, Blue, Natural Balance, etc) and they all make her poop smell.

Because Tanner is a very spoiled little boy, he only eats wet food. Poo smells like poo to me & he only poops once a day. I feed Frankie a mix of wet & dry, but I have noticed that since I changed the dry food from Pro Plan (that the breeder fed him) to Merrick Grammy's Pot Pie, he doesn't poop as much, but it still smells like poop!
