Answer 2

Dog Flatulence, best known as gas or fart, is something that some breeds get as they go aging. This happens when the dog's intestines start progressively losing their muscular tone. In most cases this problem bothers the owner even more so than it does the dog. Each breed reacts differently to different foods but there are certain foods which are known to give gas to dogs such as meat that is not fresh, yesterdays leftovers, milk, lactose products, and raw vegetables. Sometimes dogs can get gas by simply eating too quickly, which in turn causes the dog to swallow too much air. A good way to avoid this from happening is by getting the dog a wide feeding bowl and crushing its food into the bowl before it eats so that the dog has to eat smaller amounts at a time.

My friend had rottweilers that loved to let one go ... he used something called Flatulence Preventer and it did help.

Here is the link for you ... good luck and better smelling!

Answer 3

Gas is NOT normal in dogs. If your dog has gas he is NOT digesting his food properly. Low quality ingedients are usually the problem.

1. The food must contain nutrients in usable form. Proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals are no good if they can't be absorbed. Here's where the difference between cheap foods and more expensive formulas is greatest. The higher-priced diets are more likely to have balanced and usable nutrients.
2. It must be palatable to the dog. If Ranger doesn't like it, it doesn't matter how well-balanced it is.
3. Sassy must remain healthy while eating the food. If her skin is dry, if she's losing or gaining weight, if she has stomach gas or flatulence, consider changing her diet.
4. Consider the activity level of the dog when choosing a food. Don't choose a food with high fat content if Maddie is a couch potato or if you can't resist supplementing her diet with high-calorie people snacks; don't go for protein over 25 percent for puppies or over 22 percent for dogs that get moderate exercise.
5. Remember that dogs probably don't see color and depend more on smell than on taste or appearance of the food. If you want to see red meat with carrots and peas in the can or supplement with a bit of beef juice or leftover hamburger meat, fine, but it's not necessary for Ranger's good health.
6. There is currently no standard definition of "natural" in either dog food or human food. Therefore, "natural" can mean everything from organically grown grains and organically-raised meat source (no pesticides, antibiotics, feed additives, etc.) to no artificial preservatives.
7. Although allergies in dogs seem to be on the increase, few dogs are actually allergic to their food. Lamb and rice feeds were formulated a few years ago as diets for dogs allergic to poultry, beef, or corn, but there is little evidence that the itchy skin and malabsorption problems experienced by many dogs could actually be traced to food allergies.

Answer 4

A gas problem indicates a digestion problem. Most commonly dogs react to high grain or grain by-products in their food.
Check the label on the dog food you buy and if one of the first ingredients is grain or grain by-products, then you know what is causing the problem.
My advice is to switch to a dog food that has very little grain or grain by-products and I'm sure this will resolve the problem.

Answer 5

I would look at the diet you are feeding your dog, some of the grocery brand foods can create alot of gas. It has been my experience that the better quality foods definately produce less gas in my dog. If you do consider changing your dogs diet, please remember to switch it gradually over a 2 week period. Good Luck.

Answer 6

A certain amount of flatulence is common with dogs, but you might want to experiment with a different brand or type of dog food since some ingredients can either cause more gas or make it smell worse.

Answer 7

Could be his food. I just switched my Cocker Spaniel to a all natural dry food. Great for allergies and easy on the tummy. Don't give him "people food" either...could be contributing to the gas.

Answer 8

try a differnt dog food. science diet gives my dog gas...well everything does..exepcet pro plan by purina.
alot of the filler thats in most dog foods will cause that also

Answer 9

Answer 10
