The store was out of the food I normally feed our dogs, so I bought a different brand two days ago. Our almost 1 year old bull terrier now has gas, the likes of which cause the UN to sanction invasions. It is bad, really bad, and constant. The food does not seem to have this effect on the other dogs, which I guess is a good thing. I think my neighbors (who live over 200 meters away) are gonna call the state HAZMAT guys on me. Jake |

Go buy the good stuff and donate what's left of the gas producer to the humane society? |

Febreeze pet candle. It's green. The best $7 USD you'll ever spend on a dog. |

Dogs have amazingly delicate stomachs. One should never change their food outright to another kind as massive gastro-intestinal misery is almost always the result! Good luck with your gas giant. |

They did not get a shipment of the 'right' kind this week, and the next closest place which carries it is about a 2 hour drive. The feed store hopes to get it in next week. There was a little of the good kind in the big bin we keep it in, and I did mix it with this new stuff, but to no avail. This beast is just rank. The damned smell lingers in the room for minutes after th dog has bounced away. We have one of those Febreeze outlet plug in things with the anti-Pet dual scent inserts, and it has given up and is useless against this attack. I called my wife to complain about her dog (she is safely up at Ft Bragg during the week and coincidently will not be able to come home this weekend). She just laughed. How heartless is that? |

and donate what's left of the gas producer to the humane society? Oh, that's harsh! |

Come on man. Come clean and stop blaming the dog :) |

Poor puppy! Poor Cpt Jake!! When Ping Pong was a kitten, she really lived up to the pong part of her name. Once she shifted away from kitten chow, we could breath again. |

When I was but a wee lad, my dad would bring home ham and egg C-Rations. My cat, Beemer, loved 'em. The odors the cat subsequently produced were legendary. |

Peppermint Oil
a little bit goes a long way. I always keep a bottle in my locker at the hospital 'cause patients can have, shall we say, 'problems'

Think I could get away with not feeding it for a week, until the right food comes in? Just kidding, I would never starve the beast, no matter how foul it is. I guess I should be thankful it is only one of them and not all of them with this issue. My house reeks. Maybe I should feed her ham and egg C-rats, it could only be an improvement. Jake |

bull terriers are VERY VERY VERY delicate when it comes to food, the wrong food, and the'll break out in hives, fur will fall of, the'll start to skrach all over and yes, sometimes they become gas producers |

I could handle a bald bullie. I'd prefer if her hair fell out, I have a broom. As for a gas producer, I'm scared Putin is gonna send an assassin to cap her since she could compete with Russia to supply Europe with natural gas right now. Usually our BullDog is the gaseous beast (I used to calle her the Striped Stink Beast) but she is doing fine. |

Try my simple dog food recipe: 3 parts Sauerkraut, 3 parts baked beans, 1 part flat beer. Cook at medium heat for 15 minutes. Sprinkle on some Tobasco Sauce and serve warm. Should take care of any paint left on the walls. Come to think of it this may work better than Simple Green for stripping minis for repaint! |

In South park, you had an episode there if you farted all you wanted you get global warming, but if you held it in, you exploded. |
