Quoted:
I have a Corgi and she farts all the time. Especially noticeable in the evening. I bring her out for walks as I've read it could be caused from gas build up from inactivity. This doesn't seem to help. Her dog food is currently Canidae All Life Stages. When she was a puppy we put her on Blue Buffalo but she got diarrhea from it so we switched her to Canidae. The vet said it was from eating people food so we have her on a pretty strict diet of only eating her own food. Thinking I might try switching her dog foods again but wanted to get some input before I made a change. We have a boxer that was a perpetual fart (and poop) machine. Horrible stinky stuff. You could tell where he was in the house by the odor. My wife changed his dog food. He no longer farts. His bowels are now regulated.

You could also try adding some probiotics formulated for dogs.

I thought that live culture yogurt was pretty easily digested, even by lactose intolerant. |

I got some samples of Taste of the Wild. Protein content is about the same as canidae but it appears to have much better reviews and is grain free. I'm doing 1/2 Canadae and 1/2 Taste of the Wild. The dog seemed to really like the change. Eventually I'll switch over to 100% Taste of the Wild.
I might do the probiotic if this does not help. |

Taste of the Wild is good stuff. Our guy is a dachs x beagle mix and he's got alot of food allergies. We had him on that for awhile and he seemed to like it. Had to switch to the Hill Science Z/D though and I know what you mean about them being a fart machine. He'll let one rip on the couch and you won't hear it but then your nose burns and your eyes start to water. Just keep trying foods till you get him one that doesn't set him off as much.

some dogs are naturally gassy, just like some humans. my bull terrier mix for example has gas that will clear a room faster than a swat team, and it doesn't matter what she eats

We have found our dogs have issues with food that contains chicken. From reading breed specific forums it seems it is a common problem. Our GSD and Aussie can kill with the gas they produce when eating chicken protein based food. We feed Orijen, switched from chicken to salmon and can't remember the last time one of the dogs farted.

Something else occurred to me that I didn't see addressed. How does your dog eat? Is she a "gulper" that wolfs down her food or does she eat more slowly, chewing her food carefully. I ask because ingested air can cause or contribute to gas.

also, don't give your dog rawhide treats. Everytime I gave my dog one, it turned to swamp gas

We tried Canidie on our dogs (Great Danes) and it gave them terrible gas and diarrhea. Switched to Nutro Max Adult Large Breed and it solved the porblem. Believe me three Great Danes with diarrhea at the same time wasn't fun!

Well she is doing a 1/2 and 1/2 between dog foods right now and her gas issue is much improved. She is a pretty slow eater and takes her time. She won't eat until she is left alone.

Changed food and now the farts are fewer but still deadly. |

Grain free food made our old Ridgeback able to burn paint off the walls with his farts. Took him off grain free, and at least it go rid of the odor.

My rescue GSD was really farty when we got her. I reduced her food intake from 2 cups per serving to 1.5 cups per serving and it solved the problem within 48hrs.
To be fair, I also noticed she had to poop A LOT and also her dumps were larger than my 90lb GSD. Not sure if this applies to you, but all solutions might help. Overfeeding could possibly be an issue. My big guy still gets 2 cups, she gets 1.5 |

Ive got one with a sensitive stomach. We had a lot of luck with Diamond Premium. Only time he has gas now is if he gets into the Diamond Puppy or gets a treat.

We use Orijen and are happy with it, granted it is for our cat but I would definitely buy it for a dog if we had one. The other consideration for a gas issue might be a fresh cooked or raw diet though both the Orijen and fresh are expensive it can be worth it for a healthy pet.

We switched her to Taste of the Wild Salmon and she has been doing great.
