Dog passing gas ? LOL
Dog passing gas ? LOL
How do you stop a dog from passing gas all the time. I have a 7 month old brittany that is passing gas all the time. Seriously it is none stop. It's one of those smells that kinda of make you throw up a little. How can I stop this or at least slow it down a bit. Don't know how much more I can take before I can smell anything. :roll:

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
Sounds like an issue you should take up with your vet. May need a food change or some probiotics.
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
Anytime you are having problems with gas the first thing to do is cut the dog back on feede for a day or two. ((% of the time that will solve it but then start increasing the feed very slowly while watching the dogs condition. If it is staying in good shape you are feeding enough and just keep the pup at that level till you see a change starting and then adjust the amount you are feeding to take care of the pup.Brittlver wrote:How do you stop a dog from passing gas all the time.

Gas is practically always caused bu overeating. Not only the pup but you too. See if it works.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
Thanks for the help. I will try to cut it down in half then go up just a little. We are feeding around 1.5 cups a day once a day. Maybe I will go down to 1 cup. She is at a healthy weight.

Man there is nothing like "basking in the ambiance".... while you start to gag your wife or girlfriend should take notice the smell is coming. So then you have the whole couch and the remote. Win win situation.

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
I smell less gas when I feed 2x a day. So probably has something to do with over eating. Also can look at changing to higher calorie food so you don't need to feed as much.

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
1.5 cups per day doesn't sound like enough to cause a problem. I think I would try feeding half that amount twice a day for a while. JMO.

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
An experiment with your vets blessing with some metornidazole (flagyl) might be interesting if you notice the gas disappearing a day or two on the med....then you know you should go the full course.
If not a change of food besides adjusting the quantity might be a good option.

There was a post not long ago where they said ginger helps with gas. If you do a search for ginger I think it was in a thread about diamond EA.
Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
Sounds like cutting back on the food is the answer.....or just use a clothespin on your nose, whatever works!

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
Problem is you are feeding just as much of the gas producing elements when doing this. You are trying to cut the pup back to where it is digesting everything fairly quickly.ultracarry wrote:I smell less gas when I feed 2x a day. So probably has something to do with over eating.

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
We have 2 that are VERY particular what KIND of food. Every dogs stomach is different. We have tried them all, as you likely will to. 1.5 cups isn't a lot once a day. Try different foods until the stomach settles.
This will be unpopular on this board, but Nutro Natural choice (should be the last thing you try as it is expensive) rice and chicken I have been told is the most mild food you can feed short of cooking rice and making chicken for them.
We Purina One chicken seems to agree with all 4 dogs now, and can be purchased at Sams Club cheap (most of the time). We had allergies with one, and terrible gas with 2 others, on the various foods we tried. This is our off season food for them.
Yours definitely seems like a food type problem, not a quantity, its worth a try.

Go buy a pint of Dannon Yogurt{plain} I have a stinky GWP in the office this week, I had to keep the doors open so I could breathe. Gave the pooch some yogurt for the last two days and it is much better in here.
Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
I've confirmed the overeating theory with an unofficial and unplanned test. Last week my wife's dog managed to get into the cabinet where we keep the dog food. We don't really know how much she ate, but the first thing she did when we let her out of that room was to pound water. Not long after that, the gas started -- a room clearing bomb every few minutes. And it continued for several hours after that. So yes, I believe that overfeeding can cause bad gas in dogs.

Nutrua, maker of EVO, was recently bought by Procter & Gamble. Some stores that feature holistic foods are dropping them for fear the formula will be changed to lesser quality ingredients. That is usually what happens to quality foods when they're bought by big companies. I hope that doesn't happen in this case. I guess time will tell.ultracarry wrote:Ya 1.5 is almost nothing.

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
I would try changing the dog's food. Not all foods work well for all dogs. Try some of the high quality brands that don't have a lot of fillers and by-products. As others have said, monitor how much you are feeding. Some dogs will develop gas and diarrhea if they are being feed too much or food that is too rich.

Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
I also would try some different foods.....1.5 cups doesn't sound like enough to be causing the problem. One of my dogs gets very gaseous with certain foods (TOTW being one of them). May have something to do with quantity, but since they both have been free-fed since they were pups I suspect they eat more or less the same amount of whatever food they are on at the time.
Re: Dog passing gas ? LOL
I know dogs who get a tab of beano w every feeding. We've tried food change, but the gas continued. Beano helped.

That is helpfull, cause when I need to paint a room, I let in the dogs for awhile, they burn the paint right off, then back out to the fenced in area.
