When Dog Is Experiencing Excessive Flatulence

Bad wind can be caused by too much grain in your dogs stomach. Grain can be very difficult for our dogs to digest. So many of today's convenient kibbles are made of various grains which pass through our dogs digestive systems undigested. Causing the large squidgy stinky poo's and horrible windy farts.
Try a grain free kibble to help relieve the nasty smells or even better, a raw diet.

 

My old faithfull is pumpkin puree, for a spaniel about 1 dessertspoon per day.
Just make sure it is unsweetened. Sainsbury sell Baking Buddy which is fine.
We were away and I forgot the pumpkin and several days hence it was a case of holding the nose and threatening Hoo with a a bottle cork
Must say I too changed his food and that helped alot too.

 

I suggested pumpkin puree out of continuing use with my present and past cocker spaniels.
No connection to any company - just the knowledge that the only place I see it is at the best price was supermarket mentioned. Apologies if not meant to mention supermarket and best price.

But it is hard to source unless buy online at higher prices.

 

Thank you - didn't want to upset the apple cart. Can see it is probably at the doglover post

 

Excessive flatulence is likely diet! Try switching dog food brands and opting for a grain free diet for dogs with sensitive tums.

 

Please don't forget that RICE is also a grain, many companies sneak this into their products too.

 

And peas aren't a grain but still cause flatulence. Lots of dog foods have peas or other legumes in them.

 

There are so many products added to our dog foods.
"Fat", which is neither Grain or Legume in large quantities causes an awful stink, "PHEW" (I say this with first hand experience) unlike the regular raw product which is just about stink free.
From a consumer perspective.
"Grains" refer to cereal grains".
"Legumes" refer to pulse crops including lupins, peanuts, soy beans, and other dried beans, lentils, peas, and chickpeas.
