whats a good cure for canine flatulence?
got two dogs
and they take turns crop dusting as they walk around the house.
old girl dog is 9, my buddy says age causes it.
we change their food up pretty often, but try to buy ALpo, science diet, or good stuff.
the wet canned food we put on top of the dry seems to make it worse.

Find a good dog food and stick with it. Switching dog foods can wreak havoc on a dog's stomach.
This might help too.

A cork if that doesn't work.

that costco food is the same as diamond lamb and rice formula, according to my boss. he's owned the feed store for some time and knows his stuff. i would stick with on food! that costco food is probably your best choice though for the price

costco is at the other end of the earth from my house.
there is a real "feed store" nearby though, i will go get a few bags of the diamond stuff. my buddy swears by their stuff, but he has 4 dogs, he buys like 4 bags at a time.
we really have been switching it up, though,
one dog will like one kind, and one won't
that is probably my problem

Canned Pumpmkin is good stuff. I use it when my dog gets the hershey squirts. It really works wonders on a dogs digestive tract.
Another thing to try is plain yogurt. Yogurt does the same thing for a dog that is does for a human. It adds beneficial bacteria to their digestive tract.
If these don't work try a cork.

okay, i'll contribute here
I own a Sicilian Mastiff who's gas can easily clear a room and sometimes peel its paint too. Here is what I found helps:
Elevate the food bowls so that the dogs eats at face level. The trouble with food bowls on the floor, is that when the dog ingests its food, it also gulps a great deal of air along with it too. This occurs from the dog "eating uphill". Similar to you drinking a beer through a straw while standing on your head. Try feeding the dog at face level for a few weeks, and see if you dont notice a difference.

bingo pumpkin works greats for the squirts as does cocanut
i feed raw with high end kibble (Solid Gold- Wolf Cub Large Breed Puppy) in between and i cant smell his farts if i feed orijen or innova evo dog food i cant stand him... read the ingrediants list it will be listed by weight anything that has corn or wheat or rendered in the first two or three ingrediants will be hard on your dogs system
