Mrs. Mecomber – LOL well I’m pretty sure cats fart too!

xmarks – oh I’m not home alone, hubbies here too and you’ll note I’m not blaming him either!

It’s definitely the dog!

Poor thing – I hope she doesn’t have gas pains. ;)

lol! same with the Lab at my work, Rocky loves to eat grass and plants too and he farts a lot ..Geez! he’s stinky too because he loves to swim at the pond.

Oh my … I feel your pain! Doggie farts are the worst.

But don’t give pooch any OTC medications without checking with the vet first. You’d be amazed as to what can hurt them.

We did have a gas problem with Max while he was eating puppy food. I don’t know if it was too rich or had a specific ingredient that tends to be in puppy foods, but the problem subsided when we switched to the adult food.

I think Beano is supposed to be “natural” so I don’t see how it could hurt, but maybe a call to the vet to confirm might be a good idea.

I have this problem with my dalmation. She is a great dog but it gets to the point where I have to tell her to leave the room and I always have some air freshener handy, because its disgusting. We have tried some anti-fart stuff we picked up from Petco but it didn’t help at all.

My late Boston Terrier would fart like crazy. We gave him beano drops in his food every day for a while. It worked a little bit. Beano is just an enzyme that is supposed to help digestion.

The vet said the farting had to do with the “pushed in” or “shortened” shape of the dog’s nose. Apparently the shape causes gulping of air when they eat out of a bowl, so the vet recommended he eat off a flat surface. We tried feeding him off a clean plastic frisbee, and it worked ok, but the dog pushed the frisbee all over the floor, so that didn’t last long.

Eventually we just lived with the gas. Sweetest dog ever.
