Flatulent dogs.

[westendlass]

My dog keeps having episodes of flatulence and it's embarrassing when anyone comes in to my living room. My son makes cracks about it being me and the dog sits there looking all innocent. Well, I'm going to make a stand. Does anyone else have a similar problem and is there a cure for the dirty mutts butt?

A big cork. What do you feed him on?

[Margaret Pilkington]

Charcoal biscuits.

If Max's guts start rumbling we give him a 5mm of Gaviscon watered down. This is what the vet prescribed .

Dog meat and biscuits. But it's possible that all the scraps he scrounges from the rest of the family don't help. He's a greedy and successful beggar, especially at teatime!

Fatty foods will cause flatulance in dogs.

We once asked the vet about smelly rumps....he said it was because the dogs food was too rich and he advised us to give him Chum(the cheapest dog food on the market at the time).
It worked. Shame I couldn't get himself to eat it!

A lot of dog food is too rich nowadays. Max is fed on dried food. (Chicken and Rice) We dont have problems with a smelly bum and his poo is always solid to pick up.

If I used a cork I fear someone within range would be shot dead.

And gassed to death if not shot!

Hook him up to the gas mains and charge the gas board for it.

My dad always fed his Golden Setter on dried food but I used to think her diet might have been too bland for a dog. Surely dogs need a bit of meat now and again?

Put a crust on it.

Ha, ha, I've already thought about tubing him up and saving a bit of money.

Not according to a lot of vets. Max gets bits of meat or cheese in with his food some time.It's just that they need a lot of water with these biscuits
