Caution gas mask needed!!

Post by Dinobabe8412 »

Does anyone else have a gassy pup? I've never has a dog where you can hear when he toots. It's absolutely hilarious honestly. We are getting Sam a break fast bowl to slow down his eating a bit to see if that helps. I've been told he has a sensitive stomach as well.

None of my girls seem to have any of these issues, except ruby and she is just picky with what she eats.

OMG YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I got Sadie, I was feeding her Honest Kitchen, It is really great food, but her gas was killing me !!!! Im sure she didnt feel good either. I had no idea, but the smart people on here told me that cabbage was doing it. Low and behold, when I read the ingredient, there was cabbage, once I switched to an HK with out cabbage, it was all gone.

Check his food, and anything else you give him. If there isnt cabbage, try changing his food anyway to see if there is something else in there that is giving him gas. I know its funny, we used to laugh too but im sure he dosnt feel well.

I feel so bad for the poor boy, he just had a feed change from what he was on at the training kennels , to what we feed our girls. It's just going to be a bit of trial and error.

did you check the ingredients? Just to make sure it was the food change and not anything else.

Tell us about yourself: I have a 5 month old fawn male DS named Kaboose! He's my trail dog and cuddle buddy.

I might have been able to make some money off of natural gas while Kaboose was eating Wellness Puppy. I recently switched him over to a grain free Taste of the Wild and he's 70% less gassy. I'll still smell him once or twice a day, but before it was a relentless all day event!

Also, his stool under this new food looks a lot better.

Tell us about yourself: I was given my Dutch about 5 months ago. He is a handful but I love him and will keep training. He is a year old and I'm training him to be a service dog.

Hi!
My pup was the same way when I attempted to change his diet from raw to kibble. I changed the food several times with no relief. Switched him back to raw and added the honest kitchen base (even with cabbage) and he is fine. I would agree with the rest that its his diet.

Good luck!
