Like everyone recommended use the Yogurt (non-fat plain yogurt) do not use flavored because they tend to have much sugar which is not the best for our Boxers because they are prone to Cancer. We give Dasia about a spoonful along with her Innova (food) and she does wonderfully with it! It will not completly eliminate the gas but does show a BIG difference!
Otherwise..I heard gas masks are on sale at the local Army Surplus store. :D

Gotta love those stinky bums!
Luke's gas was BA-AAAD for a very long time. My vet recommended Bean-o, the stuff for people. I've never tried it.
I switched my boy to the BARF diet and that cleared his gas (and an additional intestinal problem) right up. For more info on the diet you can check out the BARF forum. It is made up of meat, veggies (avoid cabbages, etc. that cause gas), eggs, yogurt, fish oils, etc. I have noticed a HUGE difference since switching. And as mentioned earlier the yogurt (acting as a probiotic) and fish oils help. And because it is all real food with no fillers they don't get as gassy. Higher quality kibble (Innova, Nutro, etc.) would also help. They can be $ though. The BARF diet can be home-made with ingredients you can find at home or the grocery store so it is very economical, even for a starving student like myself.
Good luck reducing your pooches gas!

Ditto...Welcome to the world of our stinky butts! Hershey can clear a room in a heartbeat. Look at it this way, at least you can blame your occasional indecretions on the dog!! :eek: I just started Hersh on the yogurt to see if it helps him (or is that helps US).
Good Luck!!
Good Luck!!

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I feel like I am choking on a thick fog. Then I hear a hissing sound coming from Rowdy's pillow. I know it's no snake because I know Rowdy. He is the gasiest dog in Texas. He already has a reputation on BW as a "skunk dog".

I just wanted to thank everyone who has replied with their stories.I now feel better knowing that Chevy is not alone with this stinky problem.But I would not trade him in world for something that smells better because you just have to learned to get use to it.Thanks again!!
