April 8. And it's Dog Farting Awareness Day. I'm not kidding. Like you need a day to be aware of it. Seriously when some of us dogs let loose, EVERYONE is aware. If we dogs eat too quickly and gulp a lot of air in the process, it has to come out somewhere. So in some dogs, that is the cause of flatulence. Also if we have eaten something that "doesn't agree with us" we can get gassy. So diet can play a role in the toots. It's not unusual for this to happen from time to time - but if Fido is constantly letting rip farts that can cause the paint to peel on your walls - you may want to see your Vet. A dietary change may be in order. As well, in some cases, parasites could be the cause - so you want to get THAT cleared up. Some dogs may need pre or probiotics to help with digestion and sometimes, exercise can help.
Paxton used to be the king of farts. The air would be cloudy. And my human had a Lab who could have won prizes for his farting abilities. If they gave them out. It's not a constant occurrence with us three musketeers - UNLESS we eat something we shouldn't.
This odorous topic really lends itself to some bloopers... Enjoy!
