WIND!!!!

Hey all, apologies if it has been asked before but I need your help and advice. our dog blue is 5 months now and suffers really badly with wind!!!! so much so that you cant stay i the same room as him and worse of all its constant!

He is on wainrights food (salmon and something) but was like this on his previous food too!

any ideas? if not then I am investing him into the WIND farm industry (phew!! haha)

I think you will find its a bit of a staffy trait, well it is with Maggie I have never known a dog to fart as much as what she does and they stink and another thing her farts arent quiet, my parents lab does the typical silent fart which Maggie does as well but most of the time she farts loudly usually right next to someone and then looks at said person with a face saying your digusting
I've been giving Maggie charcoal biscuits which I got from PaH they have cut the farts down no end but not completely stopped it. They do settle her tummy though so we arent gassed out as much

Moo isn't a farter, but a lot do! I really do think it improves with age. Her love puffs where more noticeable at a young age, she could clear a bar, and now it is very rare Xx

I agree with the previous post on charcoal biscuits; they've definitely helped Tommy!

Definately a staffie trait!!!! Katy has always got her rear facing me when she lets one go PHEW

Oh hell I think it is a staffie trait, Bruno's farts clears the room and travel to other rooms lol my late staf was the same Urghhhhhh

I have to agree I have two blains wind is not to bad but maisies well that's a different matter clears the room every time we tried charcoal biscuits did not work for her but have heard that they have for others we just learned to put up with it and a good airfreshner

Charcoal biscuits have made a difference for Zeus but he still drops the odd stink bomb on a daily basis!

haha i could live with the odd one a day but OMG!! its constant.....haha will give charcoal biscuits a try see how he gets on! fingers crossed...other wise will find a rear plug for him...

Try some charcoal biscuits, they are widely available try Pets at Home or Jolleys should have some at the pick N mix selection point. Hope it all goes well ><

Bacchus does frequent bum burps but I find they are not as smelly now as when he was tiny and am hoping the trend continues.
When he is on the sofa with me I don't find them too bad now and the smell doesn't seem to drift over to the OH whereas it used to fill the room. So we don't tell her what we've done and she is blissfully unaware..........well, most of the time > >

It could also be to do with Wainwrights, when Zeus was on Wainwrights and other foods such as Wafcol, he farted like crazy.

I moved him onto Orijen and he doesn't do it as much, only around the time when he needs a poo or gets excited.

Sounds familiar + Bacchus is also on Orijen.

I know that Brutus nearly had me throwing up once. The smell was horrific, and the funny part was he laid there with his paws over his nose. He eased off a lot once we moved him on to a raw diet. We only get one dust crop moment a week now, if that.

haha poor you!! i have nothing to recommend as tyke can be the same silent but violent ones are his specialty !!!

haha phew....not alone then, will see what we can do in terms of changing his food over again but for now we have got the charcoal biscuits lets see if they help although I wont be holding my breath hehe x

Not at all. It's a well known fact that people who live in our suburb are too posh to pump. It's just that when he does anything naughty he's my dog, so we both get the blame. So we stick together eg. when mum's not in he gets to chew his stag bar on the best rug in front of the fire etc. :-$ :-$

lol

Charcoal powder we use it when marley gets an upset stomach its almost the same as the biscuits but in a purer form you just follow instructions it goes into the dinner and works within a day
