Flatulent dogs.

I know that some seemingly harmless(to us) food is harmful to dogs. Onions, grapes,(fruit cake),chocolate etc even the pollen on lillies. He's not constantly gobbling scraps and my kids also know about the dangerous foods. He usually ends up with the last bit from the plate at tea time etc or the odd biscuit or bit of cake. I don't think he's going to come to any harm from this. We always had dogs when we were growing up and in those days I don't think anyone was aware of such dangers anyway. I don't think any of the dogs had any problems and they all popped off with old age. I think the problem might be the dog meat so I'm going to try another brand.
 
Mine used to say - it's better to fart and stink a little than keep it in and be a cripple.

I know my grandad had a couple or three. This was his fav: "A fart is a gust of wind that gives the belly ease. It warms the bed in winter, and drives away the fleas." Folk wisdom from my elders.:rolleyes:

But Neil has it right. Pay as much attention to your dog's diet as you do to your own ... (he says as he breakfasts on a slice of cold pizza washed down with a beer:alright:)

Also, there are some breeds more prone to be flatulent than others. My Rottweiler, Hera (1994-2004) ... still miss her so much ... was a real room clearer. I remember feeding her leftover turkey once ... and only once. My vet told me that Rottis, in layman's language, fart a lot, whatever one feeds them.

Don't go playing with lighters now Eric.:D
 
Max has on the odd occasion let out a very loud belch. Mainly when he is on the back seat of the car and it always seem to be in my earole.
 
Add some curry to it ... there, you've finally found a use for foreign muck.;)
I couldn't do that Eric. It would make himself think that I condoned the foreign muck.(curry that is)...he can have spag bol. lasagne or that kind of stuff whenever he wants - as long as he doesn't expect me to either cook it or eat it.
I am away next week and I can bet my life that while I am away(probably at the beginning of the week) he will have a curry.
But all traces must be removed by the time I get back.....he will soak his plate and cutlery in a steradent tablet to make sure there is not a whiff of residue.

The smell of curry really does make me ill.
 
And cats:

They're really cute, reminds me of Reggie (terrier) and Herbie (large ginger tom) that we had until three years ago when they passed to the rainbow bridge together within a few months. They were bezzie mates too!
 
I feed my 2 Beagles dried ish food recommended to me by a friend with 2 Staffies, his have always been on it even when one of them was having pups. The first thing you should try different food. Tins of meat and biscuits usually produce the most waste.
