Another thing to try is a little plain yogurt for a few days. This will help establish the "friendly" bacteria that eats up the stuff causing gas.

I just got some new treats from Walmart and I think they are causing my Jack Russell, Candy to get gassy. I know what you mean when you wrote it smells like they have gone in the house. I am going to try the yogurt for her and see if it helps. Otherwise the treats are being tossed!

Soy and excess fiber in the food will do it too. Some dogs just have delicate digestive systems, which my Candy does. A little off the normal path, or something with too much fiber and peeeeyooooo! If it is still happening with quality food and no other sources of problem, then I would get some digestive enzymes as others suggested. I haven't had to get any just yet. I have always had good luck with yougurt or some pumpkin (if any diarrhea comes along).
