Gassy dog problem

[FlDebra]

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).

Thanks Debra
I was hoping to get Bruce to take me to Petco today, but he wasn't up to it. Hopefully he will be feeling better tomorrow or even Monday to take me.
It may be the change in diet that is making Reno gassy. I have no idea what the puppy mill was feeding him, but it probably wasn't good quality food.

The only treats the dogs get are the ones I make myself, and they are just the chicken jerky and the beef jerky - just the meat with nothing added.

Unfortunately I don't have any plain yogurt in the house as I don't use it for anything. Not a big yogurt fan.
