How can I help relieve my dog's gas issue?

One word——Bean-O.

Unfortunately, all of the “bully” breeds have a reputation for gassiness. Comes with the territory.

Even Martha is not exempt as neither are her two “Frenchies”

:D

@Fluthermucker- Beano is made for humans, not dogs. I wouldn’t recommend using it. Instead you might want to try CurTail, which is basically the same thing, but for canines.

I would take or call a vet and see what is going on.

You could try cutting down on the amount of meat in the dog’s diet. Failing that, ask a vet for some advice. They may be able to give you a dog equivalent of a stomach settler.

I switched molly to the “sensitive stomach” fersion of the same food.

Give him/her a butt plug.

@Oxymoron I wish I was YOUR dog. Hmmmm.

@Fluthermucker – Then go buy a buttplug and stick it in your butt. Like this one:

@Oxymoron The fact that you know about that website nearly sends me into paroxysms of carnal bliss, However…I have a bad back and have trouble turning and twisting. I would require assistance…ummm. Dare I ask?

@Fluthermucker – I googled it, don’t get excited. This may fix your back.

As has already been said, bully breeds are very prone to gas, and particularly noxious gas at that. Sometimes it comes from the dog scavenging something nasty out in the yard and eating it. Sometimes it can be a sudden sensitivity to a specific food, such as corn or wheat, and so can be fixed by feeding sensitive stomach rated food.

In addition to diet changes, here are few natural remedies to try:

1. Peppermint – tear up a couple of leaves of this herb into their food.
2. Nux Vomica – this is a homeopathic remedy and should be given away from food.
3. Enzymes – these help to breakdown undigested food.
4. Probiotics – flora found in the digestive system; these “good guys” help knock out the “bad guys.” Look for the non-dairy variety.
5. Massage – relax your dog onto his back and gently massage the midline of the stomach, and yes, it does help to coo and talk calmly.

Illness or parasite infection can also cause gas. You might want your vet to check the dog over and suggest possible treatmen ts.

Maybe he is sneaking off for late night McDonalds missions that he doesn’t want anyone knowing about. Oh wait, is that just me?

It may be the quality of the food that you feed. My dogs do not have gas. We feed raw food.

What @Marina says. Eliminate corn, wheat, and soy from your dog’s diet. There are a few dog foods out there, such as Blue Buffalo, that don’t have these ingredients. A dog’s digestive system can’t properly break these down. That results in a lot of farting.

Maybe install a filter.

@StupidGirl Or a muffler. Make sure to use one with a catalytic converter, though.

@Fluthermucker or a cork

@StupidGirl OH GOD NO! The resulting pressures could kill a small child if that cork should pop in an uncontrolled environment.

You must be single a single female if you are complaining about your dogs farts.

@Futomara Engaged actually. My fiancé knows to leave the room if he has gas. My dog doesn’t.

@ItalianPrincess1217 – Ha! Perhaps your dog should attend the same obedience school as your fiancé. You do realize that once you are married, things will change. Think I’m wrong? Ask the question, “Hey married ladies, has your husband held your head under the covers and let loose with a stinky fart?”

@Futomara @ItalianPrincess1217 It’s called a “Dutch Oven”, for those inquiring minds that want to know.

If you have a PETCO etc in your area ; they carry a couple of products for doggie gas…. also online at http://petco.com…...

@Futomara – I happen to be the farter and hold the stinkers under the covers to torture my partner in our relationship… I am the woman!

My partner have far too many manners to return the gesture… hee hee, lucky for me I guess. I know that deep down, he is just embarrassed that mine are more stinky than his.

@Rachienz – But you are male, right? I mean, you use the term “partner” and you use “the” instead of “a” in ,“I am the woman!”

@Futomara – I have a vagina!

@Rachienz – So you’re post-operative transsexual? Or is it a hand held masturbation sleeve? I’m so confused :Þ

I THOUGHT all this was about a DOG having GAS and how to relieve it ? OR; am I mistaken ?
Don’t mean to be rude ; BUT…..

LOL – I am a woman, born a woman. I was born with a vagina. I am surprised that you read into my first post as being man saying that I was “the woman” in the relationship. I actually am saying that I am the woman as in I am a woman.

My partner is a man, born a man… with a penis. He is far more “ladylike” than me. Suppose I am trying to say that gender roles or stereotypes aren’t always accurate.

I use the term Partner because boyfriend doesn’t feel correct due to the serious nature of the relationship but we are not engaged or married.

My husband has never done the cover-and-fart thing with me. Perhaps I married well.

@Rachienz – So your boyfriend stays home while you work?

@Futomara – We both work. I earn more though…

Besides, it isn’t about a total role reversal. It is about people being people and behaving in accordance with their personality and not by their age, race, gender or sexual orientation.

I happen to fart in my partners presence and take great pride in them being as stinky as possible, I take care of our financial matters while he cleans, irons and does the laundry but I still cook and bake while he loves to be the handyman in the garage. There are no longer rules that govern what is expected in a household nowadays by gender or gender roles.

@Futomara Yep, she’s a shhh-dude.

@Rachienz – So you both wear strap-ons?

Yep, whatever.

@Futomara No. Things will not change. We’ve lived together for 4 years. I’d like to think I know him pretty well. I don’t have him trained. He just has manners. He’s a gentlemen.

@HighShaman It was supposed to be about a dog having gas and how to help relieve it. But clearly the thread has been hijacked. It’s gone to shit.

@ItalianPrincess1217 – Don’t take life so serious… You’re not getting out alive!

@Futomara Its not that I take life too seriously. I just don’t appreciate people I am just coming into contact with for the first time to make assumptions about me and my lifestyle.
