There's a lot about dog biology I do not know.

We have three dogs. Same breed. Two are even siblings. Identical lifestyles. Identical diets. I'm pretty much running a control-free trial of dogs here.

One of the three, the younger sibling, on the same diet as the other two, has the smelliest farts. Like: cannot clearly describe. One part wild garlic and one part skunk (and no, he's not getting into any wild garlic outside, I checked).

WTF is up with that? How do I put the exact same ingredients into the chemistry of three dogs' stomachs and get such wildly different outputs?

My naive view (so take it with a boulder of salt): they might have different bacteria in the alimentary tract.
