Answer 1

mine does it. i have a lab and they are notorious for having nasty @$$e$. if you give him rawhides, don't...change his food to a more natural formula or lamb and rice in his current brand. that should hopefully help. i feel your pain.

Answer 2

It depends on what your dog has eaten. Just like humans! The most common causes of bad flatulence in dogs include;
Eating too fast - When the dog eats too fast, swallowed air (aerophagia) makes it to the intestines very quickly and in a more concentrated quantity.
The natural processes of producing the gas through food digestion and absorption within the digestive and eliminatory tracts.
Eating foods that are known to cause flatulence (beans, cauliflower etc).
Eating a poor quality dog food.
Tips that can help diminish the severity of dog flatulence:
Instead of feeding your dog 1 or 2 portions of food per day, divide the daily ration into smaller portions and feed the dog more frequently.
Sometimes dogs eat too quickly because they fear their food will be taken away, so feed your dog in a quiet comfortable area.
Exercise the dog more frequently to stimulate its intestines.
Choose a premium brand of dog food that is highly digestible.
There are products on the market that can can be added to dog food in order to reduce farting but these should only be used after consulting your veterinarian. Activated charcoal is often used in this regard and it does absorb the bad smelling gasses that cause bad flatulence. It must be used with caution and only occasionally however, since it can also rob the dog's body of the nutrients it is getting from its food.
It should be noted that although bad flatulence can be reduced, all dogs (just like all humans) experience daily flatulence and it should never be your intention to get your dog to stop farting altogether.

Answer 3

Probably what he eats is the cause. I catch my dog chawing on her own poop in the back yard from time to time, so no wonder her farts smell so bad. Maybe you should change the dog's diet. Or give it beano, or a breath mint, or do what I do and make it stay outside all the time.

Answer 4

Typically the cheaper the dog food the worse the gas. If this is someting you just can't live with switch the food to a better brand. My suggestion is to consult your vet and find out which foods are known to reduce the amount of smelly gas your dog has.

Answer 5

What are ya feeding the dog, try not to feed it anything with by-product like beef or liver that really does become offensive, also don't feed your dog off the table, sometimes it can cause heartburn in some dogs stomaches, which matches the fowl odor.

Answer 6

I don't know how long this has been going on, but when I change my dog to a different brand of dog food than what he's been eating, he farts *terribly* for several days, nonstop, youch!

Answer 7

What are you feeding him? Maybe its time to change his food. They don't fart on purpose, its just nature. Stock up on some odor eliminator spray like Lysol and just keep a can nearby. We keep a can in every other room of the house lol for just that reason.

Answer 8

Oh if it is a bulldog they are well knowen for that.

Well hey look at it this way if some one comes over your not crazy about let them make good friends with you dog! Your dog will help stink them out of the room. HE HE
