I have a puppy 3-4 months old. She passes gas and it is so gross. How do you stop a dog from passing gas? What causes it? Any ideas? I have another dog and she has never done that and they eat the same thing.

Gas is often a sign of worm infestation. I suggest you get her checked out.

Puppy's digestive systems are still maturing at that age & she may be sensitive to whatever it is you are feeding her. Is she a purebred? If so, talk to a breeder of that particular breed; they may reccomend a type of food, or they might be able to tell you about conditions that breed might be subject to. (Purebreds have a SLEW of intestinal issues they can suffer from)
Again, try changing her food to a high quality brand, such as Eukanuba, Iams, Authority or Science Diet. Try checking out thers brands' websites as well; they may be able to offer a suggestion for a dog that is extra gassy! If none of these work, then check with your vet. Best of Luck!

Most would say that gas is caused by worms it usually maybe it could be soy in the food or it may even be you give it to many treats some advise was to not give them table scraps and you need to exercise him/her it may be his/her diet as well.:)

HAY CRAZY-KAT,, SOME PUPPIES ARE MORE SUBSEPTIBLE TO THESE THINGS THAN OTHERS, CHANGE THE FOOD, PUPPIES NEED PUPPY FOOD, CERTAIN TYPES OF FOOD ARE HARDER TO DIGEST AND CAUSE GAS BUILD UP'' DONT FEED IT PEOPLE FOOD, KEEP IT ON A REGULAR FEEDING SCEDULE,
FEED SMALLER AMOUNTS AT FEEDING TIME AND TWO TO THREE FEEDINGS A DAY

Give her baby gas medicine. It'll be gentle on her tummy
