Why Your Cat Throws Up Undigested Kibble
When a healthy cat on a hairball regimen vomits only its food, the usual culprits are bad or abruptly changed kibble, overeating, eating too fast, or an underlying gut problem.

Why Does a Dog Have Body Odor?
A dog's smell comes from the skin, mouth, ears, and gut — normal odor is light, but a strong smell means poor cleaning or a health problem. Infected wounds or fleas, ear yeast (fruity) or mites (rank), and gas from spoiled or soy-heavy food or fast eating are the usual culprits, so clean mouth and ears regularly and see a vet if the odor persists after a full wash.
