Flatulence

[Jennifer]

Anyone elses puppy clearing the room? Good gravy!!!! Do I need to invest in a gas mask or is this a puppy problem that will improve with age?

My Finn is now 6mo old. He eats Canidae All Life Stages and I've completely cut everything else out to see if it would help. Unfortunately he continues to have horrid, horrid gas. I hate the idea of having to switch foods because I have another small breed adult dog and trying to keep the two of them from eating each other's food was a nightmare. The All Life Stages has eliminated that problem for me. My other dog doesn't have the flatulence problem Finn has. It's embarrassing. We entertain often and I don't want people thinking it's really me and I'm just blaming it on the dog. What the doodle am I going to do???

[Lindsey & Cocoa]

Cocoa has always had this issue and swapping foods did not help much... but she has a sensitive tummy so I thought that was why.

[Bonnie and Kona]

Kona had this problem. I used an probiotic enzyme product called ProZyme. It worked like a charm. I think we used two containers of it and gradually switched to yogurt daily. We do feed grain-free now. I can't remember if the grain-free started after the ProZyme or before. The ProZyme worked instantly, by the way. Good luck!

[Elizabeth & Cosmo]

As Bonnie suggested, you can try adding a teaspoon to a tablespoon of low-fat plain yoghurt to Finn's food. The amount depends on whether he is a mini, medium, or standard.

The yoghurt worked well for Cosmo, and he likes it!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Not sure... Darwin has GROSS gas and it comes and goes pretty randomly. It is less than when he was younger but still fairly regular (every couple of weeks or so he will have a gassy night)

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Riley used to always do them when we were in the car, thankfully he seems to have grown out of these very smelly episodes.  We thought it was maybe that he was a little nervous.

[Diane, Hurley and Sidney]

Hurley seems to spread an unpleasant aroma when we give him to many fruit or veggie snacks. Last night he released gas that was so unpleasant I shot up out of a dead sleep & jumped out of bed. Eve Hurley was looking around wondering where the odor came from or he was trying to play innocent.
