The farts that dogs usually sing are composed of methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. When the gas produced by the dog's intestine decomposition of bacterial flora and the excess gas produced by the intestine peristalsis digesting food are inadvertently discharged from the dog's anus. However, it is very common for dogs to fart, and sometimes the farts emitted are still smelly and loud. So why do dogs smell bad when farting? Is there any statement?

1. Decrypt the reasons for dog farting

1. Gluttonymia

Some dogs eat too much dog food, desserts or cold drinks in a meal because they are too greedy for them. Because the dog doesn't know how to control it, they will happily want to eat it all out of food, which will cause indigestion, so the owner should help the dog restrain it.

2. The quality of dog food is poor

Due to the adaptation of gastrointestinal intestines, the suitable dog food for eating is different. Therefore, if you find that you have newly bought dog food and the dog often farts a lot after eating it, you should quickly change the brand of dog food to avoid the dog's stomach being uncomfortable.

3. Food is closely related

If dogs eat too much meat, too much protein will be left in the stomach and intestines and bacteria will be decomposed into amine substances, which will cause the fart to be particularly odorful, or the foods containing a lot of hydrogen and carbon dioxide that they eat will also be the same.

4. Physical constitution of dogs

Sometimes dogs fart stinky farts because they are closely related to their physique. Normal dogs fart about ten times a day. The worse the physical condition or severe indigestion, the shorter the fermentation time of the gastrointestinal bacteria, and produce more waste gas than normal.

2. Various reasons for dogs not fart

1. Anal dysplasia

If you find that the dog has not farted for a long time, you should be alert. It may be that the dog has a significant physical problem, such as anal dysplasia or congenital anatomy. If you find out, you should seek medical treatment.

2. The reason why a dog does not fart for a long time may be because of its own fart, but if a long time long term fart occurs, it will be dangerous for the dog. Holding fart will cause its abdomen to swell and feel uncomfortable, so pay special attention.

3. Factors that cannot fart

Another possibility is that dogs cannot fart, which is usually related to intestinal inflammation, long-term constipation, hemorrhoids in the anus, intestinal insufficiency or intestinal obstruction. The gas that should have been excreted from the body remains in the body due to obstacles, so you must seek medical treatment immediately.

3. Methods to solve dog farts

1. Plan the amount of food per meal

The method to prevent dog farts from normal food per meal is to prevent dogs from eating too much and causing indigestion. If the dog eats three meals a day, then eat more than 100 million for breakfast and lunch, and let it eat less for dinner.

2. Benefit to eliminate waste gas

After normal times, you can let your dog eat some foods that are beneficial to eliminate waste gas in the body, such as letting your dog drink some yogurt, cheese, lactic acid bacteria and other beverages, or cream and cereal bread, but just the right amount, and excessive amounts can also make the dog uncomfortable.

3. A good living schedule

A good living schedule is very beneficial to the dog's body. It allows the dog to maintain sufficient sleep time, take the dog out for exercise, inhaling fresh air can help speed up metabolism, or eating foods with a lot of fiber to help digestion.

When a dog farts abnormally, don’t dislike it or blame it. At this time, you must comfort it and keep the dog happy. For dogs born with weak gastrointestinal function, you must pay attention to a healthy diet, improve the quality of life, and strengthen environmental sanitation management.
