New Staffie Mum - Mines got gas

Hey everyone!

I am a new Staffie mum to a beautiful 2.5 year old boy called Bertie Wooster. He has incredible gas and was wondering if anyone can recommend a food that may help with this. He is currently on James Wellbeloved as this is what he was given at the rescue home!!

Thank you
Shellbot and Dirty Bertie xx

Hi & Welcome to the Forum from Flo and me

Jameswellbeloved is pretty good food and I'm impressed that the rescue centre was giving that. You might need to experiment with food to find what does or doesn't cause the gas. My girl has a mix of Jameswellbeloved & Wainwrights wet and she isn't too bad at all.

Well done on the rescue too

hia from me and sasha mmm staffies do have wind some times ,charcoal biscuits can help

I have just bought the wainwrights grain free and i will let you know how it is.

Thank you for the welcome! I had heard James Wellbeloved was a good food so wasn't keen to take him off it! Maybe I will try charcoal biscuits!
Here is a pic of the culprit

I have heard Wainwrights is good too, please do let me know how it goes Lexii!

Aww bless him, that's a great pic. Who would have thought something as soppy as that could stink so bad huh

Wainwrights grain free is different to normal wainwrights. MUCH higher protein and as it says, NO grains at all. The carbs are made from sweet potato. It is higher in fibre, so im really hoping Lexi doesn't have accidents in her cage...she did with normal wainwrights but only like once a month or so.

I'm not sure if i got the smal/medium breed bag or not, but the nuts are also smaller, and she seems to have eaten it slower which means less air (which = farts)

Oh Bertie! What a brilliant name for the little trumper! Well done for rescuing welcome to the forum from me and Rio

Hi from me & Katy, well done on rescuing Bertie he looks gorgeous but glad you cant get scratch n sniff on internet Katy has been on Wainwrights ever since I got her & not much in the way of wind

oh bertie u gorgeous pup welcome from me and mia

Hi and welcome to the forum from me and the zoo xx

Knox used to have terrible wind bless him - didn't matter what we fed him. Would clear a room

Welcome from me and Misty. Well done on the rescue , its lovely to hear about dogs getting a forever home. Bertie Wooster looks unbelievably gorgeous!!

Misty had bad bottom burps when we got her but her old owners fed her Bakers. We put her straightaway on Wrainwrights and it cut her smells down a lot! She then went on to James Welbeloved and again no bad smells but she then got bored of dried food so shes on Natures Menu wet food now which she loves and the gas has never returned ( apart from the odd one which makes us flee the house screaming for air)

Hi and welcome from me and my lot. The advice you'll get here is excellent

Hello and a warm welcome to the forum Bertie is a little beaut!!!

So far so good. There is a definite reduction in the farting. Pets at home have a sale on it atm so it is £30 for a 10kg bag

Hi from Una and me! Bertie's smashing and hope you get his bottom burps sorted, Una only ever seems to fart when she's sitting on or next to us

Hiya from me and Vinnie, he is adorable! I find charcoal bones help with wind here

Hi and welcome from us and Suki
