What to do if your dog has gas:

For food-related gas, most dogs respond well to dietary and lifestyle changes and will benefit from a good-quality, well-balanced diet that allows for easy digestion. If your dog suffers from food-related gas, try the following;

  • Avoid known “problem” foods, including the ones listed above
  • Avoid dog foods that contain unnecessary fillers (i.e. corn, soy, cereals), artificial ingredients and chemical preservatives
  • Feed your dog a minimally processed, fresh, whole foods diet
  • Avoid foods and treats that are high in fat
  • Don’t feed your dog table scraps or allow them to scavenge
  • Consider supplementing your dog’s diet with a probiotic supplement (you can check out their benefits in this post).
  • Consult with your vet if problems persist

    Do dogs get gas from beans?

    The most common cause of flatulence is a change in diet or from the dog eating something spoiled (dietary indiscretion). … Soybeans, peas, beans, milk products, high-fat diets, and spicy foods are all commonly associated with flatulence in dogs.

    It can be difficult to resist a begging dog, but human food is the most common cause of dog farts. Specifically, foods such as soybeans, peas, beans, dairy products, high-fat foods, and spicy foods can make your pup extra gassy.

    Why Does My Dog Fart So Much and Stink?

    The causes of dog farts vary but they are generally the same as in people. After a meal, bacteria in the intestinal tract break down the food into nutrients that the body can use. During this process, stinky hydrogen sulfide gas releases as a by-product of digestion for certain foods in the colon. That gas becomes trapped and farting is the only way for your dog to get it out.

    Some dogs also tend to swallow a lot of air when they eat and drink, especially speed-eaters and short-nosed brachycephalic breeds including Pugs, Boston terriers, Shih Tzus, and Lhasa Apsos. Like the gas formed in their digestive tract, this swallowed air is also expelled by farting.

    So, is it normal for dogs to fart a lot? A bit of gas is normal each day, but if you feel like you need to wear a gas mask around your dog, then something is amiss. This is especially true if the farting is a recent development and your dog has diarrhea or you find blood in their stool.
