Flatulence!!!

OMG! Pebbles has it bad  
It really does turn your stomach when she breaks wind.and she does it A LOT! The whole of downstairs smells for ages.
She also has quite soft poos and i am wondering whether i should change her food. She is on Royal canin dry junior medium breed.
Any food of the same quality can be recommended by anyone to try to minimise this issue? Is this common with staffies? She also snores a lot  

Hi I had the same problem with sasha I give her charcoal biscuits that really do help with the blowing off. Its worth a try I think it is a common feature with staffies as is the snoring Sasha snores something terrible when shes proper asleep

Very thankful that I don't have a windy staff lol, but yes she can snore! Xx

Charcoal biscuits? Never heard of these. Where do you get them from Jan? Do you use them as a daily treat?

once i switched onto raw diet the farts stopped all together.
really recommend it.

I get mine from pets at home they are black bone shape biscuits they are with the loose biscuits but I think you can buy them any pet shop. I give her one after breakfast and after dinner she thinks they are a treat for eating her food up

Yes darcy can be stinky too have you thought if switching her food to James wellbeloved puppy?

Hi cheers for the replies.

I was pondering over whether to switch her to JWB or possible Arden Grange, I'm just hesitating between which to try. JWB is a little cheaper but is it as good as AG ???   This dog feeding business is more complicated than it seems  
On the practical side I can get JWB from the Range shop 5 minutes away from mine but have to travel further for AG or order it online at Zooplus (they do good deals i have found)

I would not be confident enough to feed raw. Wouldn't know where to start and would worry that she is getting all the nutrients she needs.

Darcy has been on both jwb & Arden grange (fussy moo) out of the two I'd say she preferred the jwb and did better on it too

We only feet dry food and Tip also gets gassy. And yes she snores too.  

Sounds like a change of diet would be a good idea, gradually though.
I don't feed complete but Vinnie also has charcoal biscuits and it does help immensely with windy tums.  

Raw diet... Zeke never passes wind unless hes had a pigs foot!

Bacchus was very windy when small but it seems to have calmed down. Don't know if it's a natural progression or because I switched to Eden dried.
Still get a bit of wind if he is needing a poo but doesn't everyone:oops:  
BTW. he didn't like the charcoal biscuits.

Regarding changing foods, the James Wellbeloved is probably more easily available to you as you can get it in Pets at Home and various other places. If you do decide to change over please to do so gradually over the course of a week - 10 days to avoid any upset tummy. Gradually replace the old food with the new and you should be OK just mix a little more in each day until you are just using the new food.

We have started the change over of food. Picked JWB lamb and rice puppy dry food and adding a little bit more each day while cutting back on the Royal Canin.
I am finding (from a human point of view   ) the JWB food much drier and with much less smell to it than the RC. Seems less palatable to me but then if the dog eats it  

I had the same problem with Royal Canin Junior medium dry food. She started with soft poos and ended up with runny tummy. We had to change her food completely.

Rocky also snores a lot! As well as breaking wind, which I then have to evacuate the room
