My new dog won't stop farting

[UNC71-00]

He's a great dog, don't get me wrong. And the farts don't stink.

But every morning when we let him out of the crate, he rips a fart. Loud. And if we give him treats ( certified, organic, grown in the US of A or otherwise), 20 minutes later he sounds off like a cot dern whoopie cushion.

Omg that's funny and I understand. From three y/o til shortly after I turned 13 we had a dachshund named Daisy and that little bitch not only farted all the time, them things stunk on the highest level. But I didn't mind though because little boys thinks farts are funny. Plus there were more times than I could count when I ripped some real bombs and blamed them on her.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

I need to get a dog so I can blame some ass ripping on it.

 

[strummingram]

I've never HEARD my dogs ever fart!

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

Mine sneaks 'em out, you're lucky if you hear the psssssh so you can leave the room. If you don't get warning it's just instant noxious asphyxiation. Holding your breath is useless, that sh*t lingers.

I have a dachsund and he sleeps in the bed with us. He likes to go under the cover head first and some times does come out and sleep on top of the cover , but mostly with his head at my feet. I some times wake up and he has basically farted in my face and mostly it is like sulfur even though he is on Blue Buffalo grain free but does get some chicken , steak etc. occasionally. It really doesn't bother me because I think of him as my child , my kids were born the 1st when I was 18 and the second when I was 25 (I'm 57 now) so they have been grown for a while. I know that early in the night if he is ripping them , then it's time for a walk. .

My dogs farts are opposite 71's... They are SBD's.

My little 4 lb. Yorkie snores like a grown man! Not kidding.... she isn't gassy though... the cat, that's another story! ughhhhhh

For my birthday, I brought myself a Rottweiler puppy. His gas is a direct result of his organic dog food!!!!!!! He blows me away constantly, but it's a small price to pay for him not to eat processed foods.

I had a scary dog incident this afternoon. I bike ride around Clemson, in a 15 mile stretch, through neighborhoods, etc., all over. Anyway, I go by this one house and there's a full-grown pit bull that gets loose and starts chasing me and is nipping at my feet! Mean dog that had "Kill MY Landlord" all over his face! Scared the piss outta me! The lady runs out and yells "ANGEL! ANGEL! STOP! COME BACK! AYN-JULLL!" I said "Lady! I don't think this dog is going to answer to ANGEL!"

Not a pit bull.

Not a pit bull.

That's one of those gnarling, gnashing creatures that live in the lake of fire also know as hell!!

Sorta off topic from this thread but sorta not at the same time, but..........

Since when do all dogs need got damn organic/healthy/non-processed/only natural ingredients food?? This trend is all the rage these days. We had a family dog when I was growing up and we fed him the same damn food his whole life, just your basic brown pebble-looking dog pellets that probably didn't taste like much of nothing. And he was happy as could be and lived to be 14. Well now, my parents recently bought a puppy within the last year and you would think they are feeding a human baby with food allergies each time they go to buy her food. Whenever her food is running low, both my parents scour the internet and look at dog food reviews and finally settle on some fancy sweet potato/chicken/grain BS dog food lol. The damn dog eats better than I do!

Ah the beauty of marketing. Convince just one of the owners that regular dog food kills dogs, and that they need this ultra fancy high end stuff. The other owner wouldn't really put up much of a fight because they wouldn't want to be held responsible if the dog got sick (even if unrelated) because it would get pinned on the food type. Don't worry, the fancy stuff is only 3 times as expensive.

Maggie lived on Food Lion brand kibble and the occasional bag of Gravy Train until she was 7 or 8. Then she started having some joint pain and skin irritation, and we started adjusting her diet. The vet suggested lamb and rice-based food, although we do still use a generic brand from Sam's Club. Now she's 14 and there's like 7 things that go in her food bowl - a couple prescriptions, a couple vitamin supplements, some bran flakes and canned pumpkin to help her digestion ... So yeah, it's more expensive, and more importantly, it's a pain, but she's been my companion for a decade and a half, so if I can help her daily life be a little more comfortable, I'm willing to accept that as part of the deal I made when I adopted her.

With all that said I agree some of the stuff is ridiculous, especially with puppies. My parents got a mini Schnauzer; she gets canned food, and even with that she's all picky about it. Half the time she takes a bite or two and leaves it sitting there. That stuff wouldn't last three seconds sitting out with my dog around. They're dogs - if they weren't domesticated they'd be eating refuse and roadkill. I don't see the need to start 'em on Fancy Feast from birth.

Because all dog food used to be made in the States. Lots of food now is made in China and that is a risky proposition.

Google Chinese pet food safety

So a "high end" bag of dog food costs 3 times more, or let's say $20 over the course of 6 weeks, or $175 a year.

How much does one trip to the vet cost?

 

[WhatTheHeel?]

We usually get the food with the fewest ingredients. Going through the food aisle(s) at PetSmart is dog food overload. Did you know they now have Alligator and Catfish dog food?

Also bison and venison!

The 3x was just picked out of the air - not sure what the difference in cost is from regular food to pampering food. Also not sure what a trip to the vet costs. Both of those are due to the fact I don't have a dog. I'm also not sure what the probabilities are that the dog would be saved from having to go to the vet due to the higher end food. If I knew all of the above I could formulate a more educated opinion on whether I thought the higher end food was worth it.

I was more just commenting on the marketing aspect of the companies in trying to profit off of fear (tip of the hat to @strummingram for use of his word) that you'll kill your dog by not giving him/her the "good stuff". That fear could definitely be well-founded, I just don't know.

The fear is probably grossly exaggerated, but the additional cost is minimal so its an easy sell.

And you arent getting out of the Vets office for under $175.

You should take him back and exchange him for a non-farting dog. Problem solved.

Given that his farts are loud with no smell, I find them to be one of his better qualities. If I take him back I might get one of those dogs who let loose the SBDs that are as toxic as WW1 mustard gas.
