Oh boy the dogs have the worst gas, I dont know why. I havnt changed food or given them anything new. I have 5 dogs and I swear it just permantetly stinks, if one isnt farting another is. Can i give them something? Otherwise they are fine, normal stool, acting normal,I just havnt a clue whats causing it.

They are not normally stinky dogs, they get bathed regularly and i spray them everyday with doggy colgne and brush them.

I need a gas mask Sad

I was talking about this with a friend just the other day. His dog had terrible wind. I can honestly say I've never, ever noticed Floob have it. My old dog used to have it quite bad at times, but Floobs just never let one rip... well not around people anyway Laughing

What do you feed them? They shouldn't need baths that often to not smell. Often, the food we feed them is what makes them smell!

Gas is the product of poor digestion of food. You might try changing to a more digestable food though it might cost more.
Might try a few drops of Beano on the food. I used to do that for my old Lab.

Gas is usually a digestion problem, but sometimes it's also caused by swallowed air. If your dogs are gulping their food, they're also swallowing air. Most of it will come back up as a big burp, but some passes through with the food, and it comes out the other end. Not much you can do about that, other than add some charcoal biscuits or a couple of parsley oil capsules to their diet. It won't stop the gas, just makes it less smelly.
