Natural Treatments for Dog Flatulence.

If your dog is suffering from flatulence and gas, it can give you embarrassing moments at the park when other dog owners are around or when you have visitors at home.

There are simple natural treatments you can try to combat the problem, but don’t forget to give your vet a visit first. This is just to rule out any serious problem that might be causing him to produce gas more than the normal amount. Usually, the vet would just say there is really no serious problem and that the problem will go away through simple home interventions. Here are some of the things that you can do at home to help your dog with a flatulence problem.

The general structure and the main organs might look the same, but there must be some differences with regard to the ability of digesting different types of foods. In other words, it is generally not a great idea to feed dogs with foods that human commonly eat. In particular, do not feed dogs with cooked vegetables. For dogs, vegetables are more difficult to digest than meats. Second, always choose the dog food brand that uses high quality meat. Keep your dog away from cheap brands that use a lot of fillers. If you are not so sure about the brands in the market, you can temporarily try feeding him with real meats only. Try Live Yogurt Cultures The excessive gas production might be due to a lack of presence of natural intestinal bacteria that help in the digestion process. The lack of bacterial activity alone is enough to leave a large part of the ingested food undigested and you can just imagine what happens when the undigested food starts rotting inside the dog’s belly. It can surely send big amounts of detestably-smelling gas through the anus and out into the open air. If it is a lack of intestinal bacterial that is causing the problem, having the dog eat live yogurt cultures may just do the trick. However, make sure that your pet won’t have a negative reaction to milk-based yogurt preparations, which are the more common type. There are other live yogurt bacteria culture preparations which use soybeans as their base. Charcoal Biscuits Charcoal biscuits can give an immediate but temporarily solution. Charcoal has the ability to absorb gas. The biscuits should be given an hour or so before a regular meal. You should be able to acquire

the biscuits from a local pet shop. Remember though that this intervention brings only temporary remedy. The charcoal content of the biscuits will not be digested by the stomach and will eventually be eliminated through the next movement of bowels. If there are no available charcoal biscuits, charcoal tablets are good alternatives. Go to the pharmacy nearest your place. Last Word Health issues related to dog flatulence are normally harmless, so there’s no reason for you to immediately get worried. Unless there is vomiting or diarrhoea, the production of excessive gas is just a warning to you that there’s something that must be corrected in the dog’s diet. Try feeding him with smaller but frequent servings instead. In most cases, the problem reduces or even goes away without the dog being subjected any medical treatment.

If you are in any doubt or have any concerns about the health of your dog you may wish to consult with a professional for diagnosis and treatment at the earliest opportunity.
