| Gas problems
Annie is having some really bad gas lately. This is so bad that she can be laying across the living room from me and make me want to leave the room. Is this normal or a sign of a problem? I'm thinking it might have something to do with food, has anyone experienced anything like this? Just in case it's necessary information, Annie looks to be an American Staffordshire Terrier. Thanks in advance for your replies. |

| What are you feeding? Foods that have lots of grain products in the first five ingredients will tend to cause gas since dogs can't digest it and the by-product of the fermentation is gas. If your dog is on a higher qualtiy food, then I would change the food. Some foods just don't agree with certain dogs, too many veggies, a fruit or veggie that sets them off, etc. | |

| It's caused from what your dog is eating. What brand do you feed? | |

| Personally, I prefer my dog to have a little gas to pass, otherwise, there's no one else to blame.  I'd definitely would look at diet, and the "extras" that you feed. | |

| Thanks for the replies. I've read up on the feeding threads in these forums and my wife and I are going out to the store tonight to find a better dog food. Now that I know what to look for I will buy something better than the Purina Dog Chow  | |

My dog eats Natural Balance and has no gas at all, but your mileage may vary..... | |
