SORRY SORRYMy Dog has a flatulence problem and we need some advice?
change its dog food to another brand
how do your neighbors know?





feed your dog a high quality dry kibble only, that is formualted for older dogs ( easily digestible)
It could be the food, quality of food, or caused by impacted anal glands. I usually take my dog to a groomer or to a vet to get the fluid released from them.





';Your dog's anal glands may be the culprit of rear-end woes. Impacted anal glands cause noxious odours and discomfort. It is a good idea to have them checked every time you are at the vet's, just in case, or your groomer will be able to help also. If these are a frequent problem, have either your vet or your groomer instruct you in expressing the glands at home on your own.';

Most likely the probable cause is the diet, it means that whatever he's been eating can't be digested properly. It could cause some discomfort to your dog. Have you been changing the diet recently? Steer away from foods that contains carbohydrates and dairy (lactose). In addition, does your dog eat too fast? Sometimes this could also be the cause.


If the problem persist and you it is unbearable to you, try purchasing anti-gas remedy from the vet or pet store.


Good luck!!!
Everyboby farts so don't be worried that it might be life threatening. Just like if it were you, get it checked out. In the mean time, I would try to spray alot of air freshener around.
