How To FART Proof Your Dog!

We all know about those Farts the dog does that are so fowl smelling they clear the room.  Well, why do they do them at all?  Research has shown that gas is diet related (as with humans as well).  Diet also affects your dogs stool (poo) size, smell, frequency, density and how quickly it breaks down.  Remember: garbage in, garbage out.

So the question is: is feeding a premium, more expensive brand of dog food really worth it?

The short answer is: Yes!

Feeding your dog a premium brand of dog food such as Science Diet, BARF, Eukanuba, or Nutro is more cost effective (as you have to feed less of it); it’s better for the long term health of your dog; it gets rid of those fowl smelling farts; reduces stool volume (poo) and smell; has significantly lower levels of salt and fat; is better for your dogs teeth and joints; and typically has higher levels of essential minerals.  Also feeding a premium dog food has been shown to add up to 5 years to your dog’s life.

Premium dog foods specialise in being a better balanced diet with all the necessary nutrition for your dogs health needs as developed by animal nutritionists and vets.  This in turn keeps your dog’s cells, tissues and organs healthy enabling your dogs immune system to stay in premium condition to help fight any invaders and generally keep your dog healthier and happier.  Dogs receiving a balanced diet with less artificial ingredients and higher quality meats tend to have less behavioural problems, they tend to be less aggravated and have fewer issues with hyperactivity.

Nearly all the premium dog food producers offer a 30 day money back guarantee that you will be happy with the choice to change to a premium brand food.  For most dogs, especially puppies, a gradual change is best over a few days to a week, gradually mixing the old food and the new in appropriate proportions the changeover is complete. Most dogs will happily change straight over. With the fussy eaters it can take a few days for them to get used to the taste.  You can imagine yourself if you have been eating a high salt and fat diet to change over to a leaner more nutritious diet will take a bit to get used to.

It generally only takes 2 weeks (sometimes only a few days) to see significant improvements in coat shine and health as well as a range of different benefits. I have personally seen when changing dogs over from a supermarket brand to a premium dog food brand improved dog behaviour, skin conditions, reduction in allergies, better, shinier coats, better smelling breath, reduction in signs of arthritis, as well as reduction in dog poo volume and smell, and finally those revolting dog farts are gone.

If your dogs farts clear the room it’s time to change dog food and next time you’re picking up the dog poo in your back yard, or when you’re out on a walk it doesn’t need to be a fowl smelling experience, unless you or your family members like being able to blame the dog!!!
