How do dog farts make a noise?
If dogs bodies are designed to allow them to pass gas silently, why do some dogs fart so loudly? It turns out there are a few factors that can cause dog farts to make a noise. If you don’t believe dogs can fart loudly, spend a few minutes on Youtube. It will be time well spent.
You now know that your dog’s sphincter is more relaxed than your own. This means that gas can pass through it more easily, reducing the odds of noise.
However, pressure also plays a critical role. If you’ve ever blown up a balloon and then let it go, you may have noticed a sound similar to a fart as the air was expelled.
You may have also noticed that the more air that was in the balloon, the more noise it would make when it was released.
A high amount of pressure has the same effect as a tight sphincter. The air struggles to get through the opening, which is what causes the noise.
Volume is directly related to pressure. The higher the volume of gas, the more pressure it will create. Back to the balloon example. When you fill a balloon, it has much more pressure than one that’s half full. You can squeeze a half full balloon easily, but a full balloon is much harder to squeeze.
The higher the volume, the higher the pressure. The higher the pressure, the louder the noise.
Do dog make noise when they fart?
But scientists have revealed the real reason why dogs don’t make too much noise when they fart, and why they are so deadly. Prof. Ian WiseGuy from the University of Little Hope told GrumpyFuckers: “Dogs don’t worry too much about embarrassing themselves when farting like us humans do.
Do dogs know when they fart?
Dogs have a hugely sensitive sense of smell, and just as we found some gaseous emissions repulsive, so can dogs. A sensitive dog may even get up and walk away from the bad smell, which is positive proof that dogs can detect the sulfurous odor of flatulence.
There is a lot of debate among animal behaviourists about this but most agree that no, dogs can’t laugh. At least not in the sense that humans can laugh. However, dogs can make a sound that is similar to a laugh, which they typically do when they are playing. It’s caused by a breathy panting that’s forcefully exhaled.

If you’ve ever watched your dog twitching, chattering or moving their paws while sleeping, you may have wondered if they are dreaming. The answer is yes. Dogs do dream. … In fact it’s likely that all mammals dream.
Dogs Farting Like A Pro / Louder Than Human
Love hangin out with pups, obviously. But maybe the one single drawback to spending time with our lovable little furry friends is the fact that they dont care to adhere to certain social niceties — meaning that they really dont care who is around when they pass gas and stink up a whole joint. Not fun. If you have a dog of your own, its helpful to know how to tell if your dogs farts are a health issue or just a plain ol side effect of being a mammal with a digestive tract. I know Ive personally had many a friends-plus-dogs movie night fully bombed by a pup lettin one loose in our personal space bubble. And if youve experienced this, then you know it can be pretty unpleasant.
While dog farts are totally normal and we obviously need to just ~embrace~ the natural functions of our (and our animal companions) bodies, there are certainly some instances where dog gas can be a symptom of something more serious that could require veterinary assistance. Knowing the signs to look is super important — and knowing what causes gas in the first place can be helpful in reducing it, too.
So, here we go! This is a strange journey, but a journey we must take, dog people. Heres what you need to know about dog farts, and how to tell if your pup is passing gas normally or might have an underlying health issue contributing to their potentially stinky situation.
Everybody farts, even those of us who wont admit it. And while doggos are near-perfect mammalian specimens, we cant expect them to bypass the laws of having a physical body, now can we? Having your dog pass some gas here and there can be unpleasant, yes, but normally its nothing to worry about. That said, there are certainly some factors that can cause flatulence levels to become more severe, and its important to rule out any that indicate health issues.
If youve recently changed something about your dogs diet (like gotten them on a new brand of food or eating schedule), that may be to blame for any excess gas. Certain human foods are particularly difficult for dogs to digest, such as legumes, dairy products, certain spices, and some high-fat and high-fiber foods, according to PetMD — so make sure you keep those away from your pup. And this is obvious, but make sure your dog doesnt get into any spoiled food that could be sitting out or in your trash can, and always check the dates to see that their food hasnt expired. This is another potential cause of doggy gas, so be aware!
If your pup is scarfing down his food too quickly, its pretty likely hes swallowing down some air with his lunch, too — and what goes in must come out, if you know what I mean. “[T]he source of most gas in dogs comes simply from swallowing too much air,” explained PetMD on its site. If you suspect this is the case, stay with your dog while they eat and slow them down if you see them inhaling it all too quickly. Keep in mind that some dogs are actually genetically predisposed to swallowing more air while they eat and drink (and therefore, having more gas) — specifically breeds with shorter, flatter faces.
