Gas?

[blue fire]

I have started feeding my dog a new diet and it is giving him gas in the morning. I don't mind, but is it uncomfortable for him?

Is gas uncomfortable for you? I would say change the diet it clearly doesn't agree with him. I actually thought gas was pretty normal until I switched to the diet my dogs are on now(taste of the wild dog food) but different diets may be fine in one dog and give others gas. I'd say move on if you can.

I agree, I would change the food.

Was the food changed gradually or all at once? Canned food often gives dogs gas too.

If you like the new food or have changed it for a specific reason, then keep the food. You can feed a treat for dog's that is made from a specialy processed charcol for dogs. This will totally eliminate their gas and they like the treats, fed only a few a day depending on the size of dog. They work very well.

Interesting, I changed my cats to that same brand for cats, and the one cat I had with major stinky gas

no longer clears a room.

You can feed a Tbsp of plain yogurt at each feeding. That will really help with the gas.

It might not be the food itself, a new diet can cause upset if not introduced gradually.

he has been eating this for about 3 months. Might be the gravy train canned food...... I want to make the least amount of changes to his food as possable because it is not that expensive and it incorperates hip and joint dog food since he is older and such...

Gravy Train canned will definetly give them gas. My husband insisted on giving it to one of our dogs for birthdays and such and the dog cleared the room everytime he had it.
