My dog has constant, very odorous flatulence. What should I do?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 9 years old | 65 lbs

My 8-yr old male golden-irish dog has been producing very odorous flatulence about every 15mins for the last 20 hrs. Happens more when resting, lying down, or sleeping. He does glup down his food fast/seemingly not chewing, but has eaten that way for the past 7 yrs. we are a 1-dog household and usually feed him after dinner when no one else is in the room. no known food allergies or previous IBD. walked average 5days a week/30 mins at a time.

Maybe Zuma ate something outside or someone gave him some human food causing the gas. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If this does not help with the gas, have him seen by a vet.
