Farting Dog
 

ok, my GSD is approaching 3 years old. he has his regular ration of food once per day and goes for runs and multiple walks daily.

Ever since we switch him to adult kibble, he farts like no tmml. I didn't mind it that much but he sleeps with me at night now. And now this is a problem. it get so stinky than he himself request to go out of the room sometimes.

I don't know if this is a behavior issue, but he seems to know that how much we hate the stinkyness. he will sometimes go in a room with ppl just to fart and than leave.

or it could be a diet problem? my family has weak minds and yes the dog does get some leftover bones from dinner and soap occasionally.

this is becoming a problem when i'm in getting busy with my girl and he has to come into the room let out a big fart and ruin it all.

lol yes happens with me also my weiner dog farts then runs away lol. i just leave it, then again its not as bad as your dog

my dog used to have this lethal toxic fart. it stank so bad to the point where ur throat hurts when u smell it. i switched her food from iams to innova and shez perfectly fine now.

but my dog is on innova.

I remember when I gave my dog "Nutrience", and he farted really bad. It was a good thing it was samples, otherwise we'd be stuck with a huge bag full. My dog is on the Kirkland brand dog food from Costco, it was recommended by his breeder, and he seems to be doing fine. Maybe its the scraps your dog is getting. Supposedly, scraps are bad because dogs can get fat and can be dangerous (cancer/diabetes/etc?), that's what my friend said.

Try a different food, different brands effect dogs differently. I don't know a lot about the different brands, I think Innova has no fillers which is a good thing. Try a different brand also with no fillers and see if it helps.

I know when my dog was on puppy food he was nasty. He's been better on adult food but there are still times when he reeks. Maybe try Technical Natural blends or something like that?

I would suggest trying another kibble. Try something that is simple in ingredients. Personally I would recommend trying Go Natural (chicken + rice) its an all age food.
I use to have a Boston and they are known for wicked house clearing gas. When I switched her over the gas became less smelly and the frequency was almost zero.
foods that are rich, or have alot of fish based ingredients can give some dogs more gas then usual.

wow, i never heard/smell a dog fart before.

i would say its definetly the diet

My aunt had a dobie who used to fart and stink up the entire house... I think they were eating kibbles n' bits? Can't remember... she never took my advice to change the kibble though. And these dogs were never fed scraps from the table. Strictly dog kibble only.

lol wow
never heard a dog fart before

Healthy leftovers, i.e. people food, is good to give, but cooked bones can be dangerous to them. Raw is fine. It probably has nothing to do with the gas, but I thought I should point that out anyway.

If this started happening when you switched to adult food, I would guess that it's diet-related as well. I know my cat used to have really bad gas when he was fed duck-based foods and he was fine when I stopped giving him duck. It's probably a certain ingredient in Innova.

My dog farted once and looked right at me before running off :haha:

:haha::haha:

my dog has been recently farting but only when she's around my gf :)

i got two shepherds and they both got gas. sometimes they fart loud and you can hear it across the room. they just look at me like nothing happend.

our one dog use to be farily bad so we switched foods and its alot better now. we just to also mix wet food with dry food and we stopped mixing with wet and it helped alot.

all humans fart. all dogs fart, its normal.

and yes, dog farts are RANK.

and just like people, when you have a nasty fart, its time to drop some timbers. my dogs are the same way.

i dog sat a friends dog for a bit. the little dog would jump up on the couch, sit next to u, lean and look over, and let one rip. hahaha, fucking dog!

My poor little Shih Tzu has had bad gas lately. the veggie blend I did to feed for the raw diet has alot of veggies that create gas. I have to get some other veggies chopped up and add to the blend. It was so bad one evening that you could hear his little tummy rumbling and gurgling. Time to pull out the food processor again.

my corgis fart, silent but deadly. they'll be sitting next to me and all of the sudden i'll be smelling something foul. and of course they'll act clueless. i usually fart back when they do that, except that i do it really loud and they wonder how i made that sound :D

give him wet food and he should not fart no more

lOL i thought my dog was retarded.

It would want to go on my lap to sleep...then it would fart in its sleep when its dreaming....and GOD DDAMMMnn...it stinks!

LOLLLLLl yea i rmb the first time my ex-dog farted, she got freakd out from the sound she ran away

but yea, for her, she farted because she had ultimate puppy eyes and mum always gave in and wud giv her ppl food

er i duno.. i was holding my puppy last time and it farted 3 times.. O_O *strangeee

our lab lets one go once in awhile, but we've never actually heard her let one rip...but she knows when she does, even when she's sleeping. She would open her eyes and wait for reaction. The smell would travel across the room and we'd clear out, even her.
