Kira's farts clear the room!

A little humor in here, but seriously.... This little pup almost made my wife vomit. LOL

When she's sleeping, and it's around poop time, Kira farts away.

I know it sounds as if I'm joking, but seriously... Does your pup do this?

She was in the car with us, and my wife started gagging..

Change that food. On better food I rarely have dog farts, honest.

Me too. My dogs very rarely fart and if they do it is because of a special treat they received.

Raw diet...I don't think she's ever farted after switching it to that

When I adopted Heidi her breath was horrid. I gave her one of the brand name crushed vegetable breath freshening bones. She left the room about an hour after eating it and shortly thereafter it hit me. Wow. That made restrooms in bars during Mardi Gras in New Orleans smell like a bed of roses. Ok, no more of those bones!!! After the shelter food worked its way through her system, things got a lot better at both ends of the dog...

It really does sound as though she needs a different food- the gas, dull coat, dandruff.

I agree. The signs are all there.

There are so many options, and so many recommendations.

I like some of the natural foods, and I suspect a grain intolerance in Kira.
I also like the idea of some raw food in her diet.

If I had to create a perfect meal for her, with a mixture of a natural dry food, mixed with a fresh meat, how or what would you suggest?

Also, FWIW, she had a bath, and a good combing. Her coat looks much better, and she smells fine.

My wife just told me that she gave her a new treat yesterday. They were these soft, gooey, treats made by a company called wellness. They're called "holistic soft bits", and they're made with lamb, salmon, fruits and veggies.
Those treats may have been too much for her.

But I still agree about changing her food. I agree 100%

My own experience with lamb has been that my dogs really don't tolerate a lot, not sure why. Grain *can* be a problem...and as for grains corn can be one of the worst but I would not go there yet. Ask the breeder. I would be cautious about supplementing kibble with meat also. those ratios of Ca and P.

Oh my I know what you mean. Since switching to TOTW Sasha doesn't fart often, but every once in a while she will let out a silent but deadly fart that makes me have to leave. It's terrible in the apartment because there's nowhere for the smell to go

Nature's Variety Instinct is a high quality grain free kibble and they also make a raw frozen patty. Just feed one meal raw, one meal kibble if you decide to use both.
