| ![]() I am no expert and trying to remember Anatomy class, but isn't gas normally formed in the stomach in relation to the production of stomach acid used to digest food? It could be this food is harder to digest than cereal-filled foods that are overprocessed, etc., and more stomach acid is being made and if your dog is not really active enough to move the gas along through the GI tract, it sort of accumulates so that you smell it as it slowly passes. We all know the reasons for abnormal gas such as ulcers, obstruction, etc., but this sounds like normal gas under the circumstances to me.

| ![]() Sounds very excessive and could indicate that there is some pain and/or discomfort in there. If it's happening often, I would try to find out why.

| ![]() Odd -- Jackson has never in his life been a gassy dog, EVER. But when I tried him on Orijen Adult, phew, he was stinky. He was fine on Orijen Regional Red in that respect (no gas) but the Adult was a different story. I'm not sure why but no other food has caused him to have gas.

| ![]() Foods make a difference. For instance, our dogs (some of them) were VERY gassy on any food made by Diamond, including Diamond Naturals, Premium Edge, Chicken Soup, TOTW, Solid Gold, Canidae, Wellness. Yes, Diamond makes the dry foods for several brands, even many brands that Diamond does not own. One of the better foods I have found is Nature's Variety. My dogs have very little gas on this food and have done great on it. It is also an all life stages food so it works well for the puppies too. Our last 2 dogs have eaten Nature's Variety ever since we got them. We use mostly the Prairie formulas. The kibble is small and easy for the smaller dogs to eat also. You can also try giving your dog(s) a spoonful of plain yogurt. That can help their digestive systems and reduce the gas some. That's what I did to get through the bags of the Diamond made foods. It did help. |
