Answer 2

I do not want to speculate because I am not vet but have raised 5 dogs, unless it is a medical problem try the following. One of my dog had allot of gas and we found out he some bacteria in his intestines. After his treatments there was no problems. Although gas production is a natural part of the digestive process, some pets produce more than others and are not always fun to be around. Here are a few ways to reduce flatulence in dogs: * Slow down dinners. Flatulence is often caused by air that is gulped down when pets eat too quickly. Putting a large object in his food dish will force your pet to slow down when eating. The object should be something that is too large for the pet to pick up in his mouth. Try something like a ping-pong ball for cats, a baseball for toy dogs, a softball for medium breeds, and an even larger ball for large and giant breeds. If you have more than one dog, feed them separately to reduce competition for food. You may also try scattering dry food around the house and/or yard so the dog will need to 'forage' for it. * Buy an elevated feeder. Dogs that do not have to bend over so far to eat swallow less air. * Take walks after dinner. Light exercise aids digestion and works out the gas while you are outside. If your dog eliminates during the walk, even better. * Switch food. Your brand of dog food may be the culprit, particularly if it is high in soy. Switch over gradually so your dog's digestive system can adapt to the new food. Substitute about 25% new food for the old food each week so that by the fourth week your pet is on 100% new food. * Add Acidophilus or Prozyme to food. These products help in the digestive process and may help eliminate gas completely. * Watch what they eat. Too much food at one time can cause gas, as can eating out of the garbage, or too many table scraps.

All dogs have gases in a moment or other and nobody likes it. Flatulency is part of a normal digestion. It usually happens when the food in the intestine hasn't discomposed properly, which produces an accumulation of gases. The blood absorbs great part of them, but some transform itself in flatulency's. Even if a bit of flatulency is normal, some dogs tend to have too much gases. This is due to some foods, a fast ingestion of foods or the lack of exercise. Whatever the cause, it is not difficult to fight gas. here are some recommendations:

Revise Her Diet - overall the ones that contain lima soybean, produces lots of gases. If your dog has this problem, the easiest solution is to give him another kind of food. To choose a food that doesn't contain lima soybean may avoid gases. Each dog has a different reaction to certain kind of food. Try different types of foods during some months to get to know what's best for your dog.

Make sure you change his food in a gradual way, at first give her just a little of her new food during several days or weeks. A sudden change in her diet can cause her diarrhea. Some foods, as is the milk, cheese, broccoli or cauliflower produces lots of gases in most of the dogs.

Modify the Proteins: Almost all the ingredients from her foods can cause her flatulency, but proteins are the ones that originate most of the problems. Give her other type of proteins or reduce its quantity. For example, if in her actual diet most of its proteins come from veal, modify it with food that contains lamb proteins.

Give Her More Fiber: If you add fiber to her diet, food will get faster to the intestines and gases will have less time to develop. Try to add metamusil to her diet, It contains lots of fiber and it's easy to acquire. Give her a little spoon for each 4.5 kilograms to 9 kilograms of her weight at each meal. If your dog doesn't like this supplement, you can give her food rich in fiber and more tasty, like canned pumpkin or canned green beans. Add some depending on its size, and wait some days to see if they have had the desired effect. Don't add too much as to cause a diarrhea, due that this food is used to fight constiveness. When changing her diet do it step by step to avoid intestinal problems, including the augmentation of gases.

Answer 4

Many pets suffer from flatulence also know as gas. He should be checked for worms. If that proves negative, try changing his diet. Cut back on the amount of can food as it may be contributing to the gas problem.

Answer 5

In most pet stores they sell tablets for dog flactulence. They work and really help with the smell. Try feeding more dry food that helps.

Answer 6

She may be getting into something you don't know about. Or, maybe she's wolfing her food down too fast. One of my dogs gets really bad gas(well both of them really), one time it was so bad-she ran out of the room lol. My other dog is really gross, he'll start sniffing his butt after he does it trying to figure it out.
