Why does my dog keep farting?

My dog won't stop farting! Why is she doing this? Should I consider changing her food?

Avoid feeding your dog canned food. Also a low-quality diet can cause a lot of flatulence. You might want to switch his food to a higher quality diet with more fiber. It may also help to take him for a walk which will encourage pooping and get some of that gas out

If you are feeding canned food, in addition to the reason Jabrae gave, it's also not good for their teeth. If you're trying to make the kibble more appealing I would recommend mixing in a table spoon of pumpkin puree. Canned but not the pie filling. It's good for their digestive tract and keeps my hound from needing his anal glands expressed so frequently. A Tbsp/day of yogurt is a good option. You could also use a low sodium chicken or beef broth if flavor is what you're after.

I found out the hard way that liver treats cause horrific, room clearing gas.

If you're feeding food from the grocery store, I would suggest upgrading. Natural Choice is an affordable mid-range food. Just be sure to transition gradually or you'll really have some gastrointestinal grief. If she's gobbling her food down you might try a slow feeder dish or they sell a ball shaped object to put in her bowl to slow her down.

Hope this helps!
