I wrote about the gassy Dog problem we were having almost two weeks ago and to be honest I forgot to write the follow up. Jet really was stinking out the whole house and it was becoming intolerable.

Below is what I had planned to stop the gassy Dog flatulence. Dogs really can stink the house out!

Stop the Dog eating so fast.  Gulping means there is too much air getting swallowed.  I am going to feed Jet four times a day instead of twice.  The same amount overall but in smaller quantities.  This should cut down on the air she swallows in one sitting and ease her intestinal tract a little.

Soften her food.  The Dogs have dried food with water added.  I normally add the water and feed them immediately.  I am going to wait for the food to soften before feeding.  This should mean Jets insides don’t have to work so hard.  She never chews her food so the digestion processes work harder and cause more gas to build up.

Dog Flatulence. How To Stop The Dog Farting

First of all I tried splitting up Jets meals so she was having smaller portions on a more regular basis. There was a slight improvement in that the dog flatulence was not as regular after a few days, but it was still stink city around here! Also I have to admit that I kept forgetting to feed the poor thing on occasion, as it is not the normal routine. It stopped her being such a gassy Dog but didn’t cure the problem very well.

Having not really worked I decided to put her back on two big meals a day but make sure that the dried Dog food was soaked in water for a good five minutes first. Normally we put water over the food and feed them immediately. With Jet just gulping her food and not actually chewing I suspected it was the large volume of air she was gulping that was the problem.

It seems it is more likely to have been the fact her gut had to work so much harder to digest the food that it was creating extra gases that were emitted on a way too regular basis.

Flatulence. Dogs That Don’t Stink Rule!

Giving her food that was soaked and therefore easier to digest seems to have done the trick. She is still making the odd emanation but hardly at all. A simple solution that seems to have worked like a dream.

So, if you have a gassy dog and you feed dried food try soaking it for a good few minutes. You might be very surprised at he difference it makes. I know I was.

1. Dog Flatulence, I Need To Stop It Now!!!!

Things have taken a turn for the sour here at chez Three Dog Blog. The air is turning foul!

Jet, who is now approaching eight months old, has decided she is fed up of the fresh smelling country air and has decided to populate every room with her foul smelling Dog farts!

Hey, it wasn't me. It was Faye. Honest!!!

I know it is funny to those who do not have a Dog Farting around the house but it really is becoming an issue!  It absolutely stinks!

Birds do it, Bees do it, even educated People do it, lets NOT do it, lets NOT fall for Farts!

I wrote some time ago about how fast Jet eats her food and she still continues to do it.  She eats so fast it is ridiculous. She gulps her food in no time at all.  It has never been a problem up until now but I think that this fast eating is the main cause of the problem.

Gassy Dog Problems?

Dog Farting All The Time?

[ad#ad-inpost]

Jets fast eating has never before led to flatulence. Dogs can all be a bit stinky on occassion but it is now out of hand. When Dogs gulp their food they intake a lot of swallowed air.  This is called aerophagia, and can be the main cause of “gassy Dog syndrome”.  Up until now nothing of the sort has happened, but the last week or so Jet has turned in to a walking Fart machine!

It is happening all the time.  She can vacate a room in a few seconds.  My Mum came to visit yesterday and even when we were sat outside eating some fantastic lemon meringue pie that Mrs. Three Dog Blogger made, we had to keep getting up and walking around just because Jet was in the vicinity.  She fouled the air on a whole mountainside!!!!

OK, enough messing around here is the plan:

How To Stop Dog Flatulence?

As far as I know there are a few main techniques that should solve the problem.  I have started to implement them this morning and I will let you know in a few days how it went.  I am not going down the road of adding things like Activated Charcoal or Live Yoghurt yet.  Hopefully just doing the following will cure Jets Dog flatulence.  If you have ever had a gassy Dog though, trust me when I say, I AM going to get this sorted out one way or another.

• Stop the Dog eating so fast.  Gulping means there is too much air getting swallowed.  I am going to feed Jet four times a day instead of twice.  The same amount overall but in smaller quantities.  This should cut down on the air she swallows in one sitting and ease her intestinal tract a little.
• Soften her food.  The Dogs have dried food with water added.  I normally add the water and feed them immediately.  I am going to wait for the food to soften before feeding.  This should mean Jets insides don’t have to work so hard.  She never chews her food so the digestion processes work harder and cause more gas to build up.
• Lock her outside until she no longer Farts!  Just kidding.  Although I am sorely tempted, little stink monster that she is!

How I will Stop Dog Flatulence

Hopefully these few simple tricks will sort out Mrs. Farty and mean we can enjoy the pure air we once had on our remote (but now stinky), Spanish Mountainside!

Let me know if your Dog turned in to a stink machine.

How did you stop it? or do you just keep a Gas Mask handy?
