Answer 2

Usually the Rescue places just feed whatever food they can get they may even mix all the foods together. They are not the best type of food. So try and start him on a really good food. This is food not usually found at the grocery store. Try a place like Petco or Petsmart. They have the better foods, they may cost more, in the end you won't be paying as much because you will probably feed less. It will probably take a few day for him to make himself comfortable in his new how. It is so great you have Rescue him you have done a wonderful thing. Good Luck with your new friend.

That is a sign that something in it diet is not agreeing with the dog, sort of like many people will get gassy eating beans.
Eliminate all treats first to see if it is a treat that is causing if still happening you know the kibble does not agree to try another food (something without corn, wheat or soy which are the most likely culprits in dogs) it may take a month to see if the new diet improves things, if so then introduce treats again only one at time for a couple weeks each new introduction so as to test them for reaction

The owner of the dog needs to know how to "operate" the dog, same way you can get into a car that's in perfect running order but if you don't know how to drive you won't have much luck making the car go anywhere. If the owner doesn't know how to maintain the training, the dog will soon become untrained again. Read more here https://tinyurl.im/Lox0t

People seem to think that once a dog is trained, that's it. Not true. You must reinforce the dog's training every single day in some way. It's best if the owner and the dog go together to get trained. As a professional trainer once said to me "We can train any dog in 2 days. It takes longer to train the owners

Answer 5

So your dog has the ability to clear a room, peel paint and make a pig blush. Why does he have such bad gas? Well, in a nutshell he probably is not digesting his food thoroughly. And these partially digested items are resulting in the bad gas problem.

But why can't he digest his food? Typically dogs have a difficult time digesting their food because it is lacking in digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria. Both are cooked out of commercial diets. Digestive enzymes and live beneficial bacteria are crucial in helping to break down difficult to digest items into more easily digestible forms.

What Is Your Dog Eating?
Your dog's diet has a lot to do with the frequent passing of gas. What you are feeding her? Does she get food from the dinner table? Some people foods don't always digest the best in the canine system, and can cause some serious smelling vapors, just like in humans. Some dogs are also lactose intolerant, resulting in some majorly noxious fumes after consuming dairy.

Spend Some Extra Cash, Cuts Down On the Smell Of Gas
Most supermarket brands of dog food are made up mostly of corn products for fillers. This gives your dog the feeling of being full, but also can add to a foul gas problem, and in some sensitive dogs, severe allergies. Feeding a better grade of food, with the top ingredients listed as chicken, lamb, or beef, can not only mean a happier pet, but a less odiferous one as well. High quality dog food will also cut down on the amount of waste product, meaning less poop for you to scoop, and less smelly ones too. As gross as it sounds, the contents of your dog's bowel movements can determine how healthy your pet is. A high quality diet results in less end product, because more of the meal is actually digested, leaving less mess later.

Supplementing His Diet
If upgrading your dog's diet doesn't seem to be helping, it may be time to check out some other solutions. A teaspoon of low-fat yogurt with each meal will reduce internal gas, thanks to the live bacterial cultures in yogurt.

When All Else Fails, Ask Your Vet
It may be time for a check-up. Going to the vet for check-ups are a must anyway. Your dog's anal glands may be the culprit of rear-end woes. Impacted anal glands cause noxious odors and discomfort. It is a good idea to have them checked every time you are at the vet's, just in case, or your groomer will be able to help also. If the glands seem to be a frequent problem, have either your vet or your groomer instruct you in expressing the glands at home on your own.

Good luck!! pppphhhtt

Answer 6

If the dog is old, that is natural and you may just have to adjust his diet to his age.

More bulky foods cause more gas.

If it is harmless, you can safely give him some charcoal tablets to minimise the effect.

However if the dog suddenly starts to be windy and wasn't before, I would go and see a vet, to assess that it isn't anything more sinister.

Two things you would really need to tell us before anybody can give you a useful answer.

How old is your dog?
Did he suddenly start?
What are you feeding him at the moment?

Answer 8

I to have a black lab and his farts smell SOOOOO bad! but i think its because of his diet. And also if you give him alot of table scraps, that can have an effect on his gastrointestinal system. Maybe feed him less meat, or put him on dog food thats like, veggitarian or something. We always give my dog table scraps(but its always meat, no veggies or bread), and regret it 10 minutes later.
If it works, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase tell me! I need to know!

Answer 9

A lady friend of mine had that problm with a doberman, she got away from wal marts ol'roy, and went to a lamb and rice made by Diamond, and it stopped! Thank God! The dog even now has a shineir coat, and eats less!

Answer 10

Try and exercise your dog that way your dog can move the gas outside.

Look to see if the dog food you are feeding your dog has soy beans in it??? They can cause gas!! Soy beans can be hard to digest!!!
Does your dog eat fast??? Overeating can cause gas!!
Do you give your dog any milk?? This can cause gas.
Yogurts cab decrease the gas in some dogs tummy??

Good Luck!!

P.S. I have a 14 week old Lab puppy and she has gas as well!! She sleeps with my husband and me. I blamed my husband all the time for the smell!!!. I thought it was him for awhile!!

Answer 11

Are you feeding it table food? That can cause it as well as their dog food. My dogs use Iams and other than the occasional normal passing of the gas, they do quite well on it. It's pricey compared to other brands but it's a great food. It also keeps them shiney!
