How to cut down on smelly dog farts. I am not kidding! I love my big dog to pieces but boy, can he stink up a room! Any ideas?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If that's the case, it could just be him entering mid-life and getting more gassy. My little Chihuahua Lola has not only reached middle age... she's now in her geriatric twilight years and they've gone from often and stinky to often and audible. It's hilarious. She's tiny, but will make these high pitched squeaky farts as she's getting up or jumping up into a chair. She never even made actual farting sound when she was younger.
I found this forum, and the person at the top sounds exactly like you. No change in food, etc.

In this forum, they talk about adding a little rice and maybe a little yogurt to the diet.

If you think there might be something more to his farts... you might want to bring it up with your Vet the next time you schedule an appointment. If you know your vet's office, maybe you could call and talk to the front office and see if they have any short term solutions or tricks for you to try.
You should also count your blessings and be glad you don't have a bunny like Sadie! ;)

some of the biggest problem causers are pork, beef, soy, wheat, and corn - although not in that order.
also be aware of "meat meal" which can be any dead animal - thus could be crap ingredients.
Since this has been an on going problem its probably not another health concern - most likely food related... as such switch to a more bland diet and see what happens

also YUCCA (an ingredient in some foods - is good for controlling odors.

Oh my!!! My dog is that way too-----sometimes you walk in the house from outside and the whole house smells like a dog fart! And he's only a little over a year old! And like you said---they're loud! I've never had a dog who had loud farts before, usually they're the silent but deadly type..........
