My dogs have awful gas daily, but are healthy. How to control it?

The most common reasons are bacterial imbalance issues, a poor response to the fiber in the diet or parasites. You may try switching the food. I recommend Royal Canin because it has a great fiber blend. You can start them on a probiotic - Purina FortiFlora is a great one. If there is not improvement after 2 weeks, have them checked for parasites. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not necessarily unless this is accompanied by other gastrointestinal signs such as diarrhea or blood in the stool. Most dogs have some gas to some extent and they are perfectly healthy. Good luck and have a good night!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend taking Poli to the vet with a fresh stool sample to rule out intestinal parasites and other health concerns. If negative, I would recommend changing her diet to something less rich. In the US, I recommend Science Diet or Purina One Smartblend. There may be something in her current diet that is affecting her GI tract so she may need something new. Good luck and kisses to Poli!

Change his diet to boiled chicken and rice a GI formukabsince it is easy to digest. You can also add a probiotic to the food to help replenish the good, normal bacteria. If this does not help you can try gas x. If it continues then I would consider a check for parasites and blood work to make sure oral medicine is it needed

Hi there. I suggest you use a probiotic for Bentley. Fortiflora is my favorite but you can use any probiotic made for dogs (no human products or dairy). I would give it daily for one month to see if there are any changes. The probiotic adds "good bacteria" to his intestinal tract that may quiet the gas. The box of Fortiflora contains 30 doses. https://www.amazon.com/Purina-Fortiflora-Canine-Nutritional-Supplement/dp/B001650NNW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1513899555&sr=1-1&keywords=fortiflora Now, that being said, a very common reason for young dogs to have bad gas is parasites (like roundworms). So, I suggest you speak to your vet about deworming him. Finally, diet recommendations for dogs with gas is a diet that is highly digestible with low fibre and low fat content. Grain or no grain has no bearing on the issue. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

If he is a young dog it is possible that he has a mild food allergy or an easily upset stomach (sometimes this is irritable bowl syndrome). Typically strong smelling gas in from the diet. I think slowly switching Ziggys food to maybe a different protein source of purina would help calm down or stop the gas. However, if you want to try an over the counter probiotic every day in the food and see if helping the good bacteria grow improved the gas. Do not forget to have a fecal checked for parasites just incase! hope that helps

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to see in these pictures. The red tinge may be blood or it may something that he ate. I think it would be fine to monitor him for now. However, if this turns into diarrhea or there is actual evidence of blood in the feces, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!
