Excessive Flatulence

19 15:33:07

Question
I have a 4 yr old male Boston.  He is an exceptionally bright and loving boy.  Our only problem with him is he seems to have an excessive gas problem.  I have tried many different types of dog foods recommended to eliviate this problem, but to no avail.  We never give him table scraps or any people food.
Do you have any suggestions for his problem.  He can clear a room in seconds!
Thanks in advance.

Answer
Hi Patti,

Bostons, sadly...are well known for their gas attacks. Short of making sure there are no yeast products in their foods, there is really little else you can do regarding diet. Outside, however, the more running and excorcise they get, the more gets OUT of their system before coming back in.
Good thing they are so lovable huh?
