Flatulence AKA Gas

Do you have or know a dog who can clear a room with his "gaseous emissions?" Ninety-nine percent of canine flatulence is diet related.  Try experimenting with different diets to find which one agrees and then stick with it--no exceptions (treats). Give a new diet at least two weeks to work before giving up on it.

We only recommend good quality dog food! Pro Plan, Eukanuba, Iams, etc. The less expensive ones tend to have a lot of fillers, and a lot less nutrition. A food with less filler also allows the dog to produce less waste (poop).  The less expensive brands also require more to be fed which can cause bloat or torsion.

There are various products available for pet flatulence, but those products don't always work. Charcoal tablets are one kind, Cur Tail^TM is the canine version of the made-for-humans Beano^TM.
