A different dog food would probably be the best. Pedigree is pretty low quality food, one of the lowest I would bet. If you give her a higher quality food she will eat less. Not sure if that will help with the gas, but it will be better for your dog.

My first Husky Aleksander was allergic to beef. His first symptom after eating beef products was really bad gas, then he got ear infections. Your puppy may be allergic to something in the food. When you change the diet, I would stay away from all the ingredients in Pedigree- corn and chicken primarily.

Also that food has BHA and BHT as preservatives, which IMHO has no business being in the food of ANY species. Also stay away from ethoxyquin and TBHQ.

Gas was the first symptom of intolerance for our pup too - for anything containing chicken, corn and beef.

We switched his food to a single protein and starch (duck and oatmeal) and the gas stopped.

Since you're not sure exactly which ingredient is causing the irritation, try a new food with a single protein type and no corn (a very common allergen in dogs).

Actually farting is commmon and normal for many dogs - labs seem to have a knack for firing just when most inappropriate...Stop the grocery store brand of food and go get yourself some Natural Balance meat sticks and if low on funds some Trader Joes canned dog food. Much better for your pup than the stuff you are feeding your pup now. Better food, less poop, less eating and longer (hopefully) healthier life...good luck and be thankful he is not eating the couch

At least you can always say, "IT wasn't me, it was the dog!"

(I had a flatulent cat - she could knock you over, I swear! Per the vet we did a small spoon of unflavored live culture yogurt and it worked - but I would not have any idea if that would work with a dog).

Puppies seem to get gas and more stinky gas than adult dogs too.

ARe you feeding any treats like rawhides? Rawhides are bad, bad, bad -- and cause stinky gas to boot!

Well, some dawgs are just plain stinky no matter what you feed em. I have a sharpei mix who eats raw and can still gas you right out of the room sometimes. Now, I do know that certain foods ramp it up, give her raw eggs and you have a whole new level of nasty but if she get them scrambled ( yup spoiled rotten here), no problems at all. All that being said, some breeds are just gassier than others and I learned that sharpei are in that category. I got "Fresh Digest" a few years back to help my girl out and it's been extremely helpful in managing gas. Basically it's a digestive enzyme and it works wonders.

Thanks for the laughs and good advice!

I also started a 'good commercial dog food' thread, so changing her food is something we'll look into.

No rawhide, as I'd heard that was bad for numerous reasons.
I'll look into Fresh Digest and see if I can find it.
Anyone else have any feedback on the yoghurt?

Have your son take her over to Ex's house when Ex starts acting out over something

Give her to KKNY for a while

yogurt is okay, but unless you want "cannon butt" you can't give too much. It does have some of the good stuff to aid in digestion, however what I ran into was, while it helped, it didn't help enough. That's when I went researching and found the "fresh digest." It's got several digestive enzymes in it in addition to acidolphilous ( in yogurt). Don't get me wrong, she can still have some green cloud moments but they are WAY fewer and further between. Good luck.

Could it be the Cat Poop she's eating?
We try to keep her out of the litter box, but caught her snacking again the other day...

LOL Jessyf!

I've found yogurt helpful with my dogs' gas issues. I give them each a heaping spoonful of plain, unsweetened every morning. Probiotics capsules are very helpful with avoiding stomach upset when they are going through diet changes, too, but during ordinary times the yogurt works fairly well.

Orijen/EVO are really good, switch now before you get more serious issues later on, like cancer,hips/bad teeth,bad breath/ect.
Most dog food is a horror story, dead shelter animals/roadkill, rotting garbage,poop,horse,cattle hair- basically anything that is unfit or illegal to use in human food goes into most pet food
