Gas buster?

Does your dog command the room by evacuating it?
Is there a constant green cloud hovering when he is sleeping?
If you have a pup with a smooshy nose, you will always have this problem, but I have some suggestions to at least help...
Boxers, Frenchies, Bostons. Dogs with flat faces constantly suck air, so it is no wonder they have gas!
Breeds like Rotties, Pitties, Danes and even Dobermans, I have found are struggling more and more with digestion issues.

→If you have a dog that eats fast, that topic will be covered in another post.←

But for now, let me give you a few tips to help from living with a clothespin on your nose....
We need to re-evaluate what protein you are feeding your dog.
Chicken?
Beef?
Lamb?
A lot of times the proteins that are fattier such as beef, which is more sinewy are harder for the body to process and may need a little help, a probiotic might be what you need!
Raw goats milk or a probiotic in capsule or liquid form will also work. The gastrointestinal system just needs a little help breaking things down.
You can also add Sweet potatoes or get a food with this popular tuber in it already.
Age can also play a factor to this stinky situation. Dogs, like humans start to lose the ability to break things down as they get older.
You can also always change their diet. Experiment with different proteins or brands. Each brand is different and offers different quality kibble...or take the raw route. 👀
