KEEPING WITH DOGGY FARTS

KEEPING WITH DOGGY FARTS
I have to admit - today's topic is funny. Doggie Farts. Maybe I shouldn't say "funny" I know it isn't funny to you if your dog has a generous supply of "natural gas".
This is not an uncommon scenario. You, your spouse and the dog are quietly watching TV. Then you smell something foul. You know it wasn't you, but you are getting blamed. So naturally you blame it on your spouse ... but he says it was the dog. It really was the dog.
Many dog owners ask what they can do about their dog's "farts"?
First, let's define what we're talking about here. What exactly is a fart?
A fart, commonly referred to ask "gas" or "flatulence", is most often produced by foods that are high in polysaccharides. There are several digestive processes that take place, but essentially bacteria will feed on certain substances in the digestive tract producing gas. This can also be caused when dogs eat too quickly and swallow a lot of air.
Flatulence can be normal. However, I realize that it can also be annoying and sometimes, even embarrassing. b(
Certain foods often agree with some people more than others. I see the same thing happen with dogs. There are certain foods that some dogs have a bigger problem digesting, including some vegetables, beans, potatoes, cheese, yeasts and milk products. Some dogs even digest certain dog foods better than others. b(b(
Some pet owners just "tolerate" doggy farts. If you can't, here are some things you can do:b(
Minimize treats, especially vegetables and table foods that contain milk or milk by-products.
Feed your dog the same dog food every day. If the gas continues, talk to your vet about changing your dog's food. Try a premium food, like Hill's Science Diet or Iams Products. Ensure the food is AAFCO approved and formulated to meet your dog's life stage requirements (for instance, if your dog is 7 months old - use a food that is specially formulated for puppies). b(
Some people also think that flatulence is worse in dogs that eat quickly. You can try feeding smaller meals more frequently.b(
Never feed spoiled food.b(If your dog is having any abnormalities, see your veterinarian to ensure there is no underlying problem, such as parasites.
Keep an odor neutralizer on hand to minimize the smell.
