ya thats what IM HOPING the new food does. It doesnt have grains or by products in it, which supposedly causes gas in dogs..i have to gradually get him on it..starting tonite, but i did give him a 1/4 a tablet of the gas pill, which is the first med hes ever eaten without trouble, and i hope that at least helps with his spit up until i get him switched. i dont want him to be on ANY kind of meds long term if i can help it..even over the counter ones...i dont feel comfortable with giving my dogs things other than food and treats..so we'll see, but like i said gas pills are NOT a keeper for long term, so no worries there.
