The Farting Dog

Many small fights have started between you and your significant other. The accusation usually starts with, "You farted!"

"I did not!"

"Well it wasn't me."

"That's awful!"

Just then, you both turn to the nearby dog who stares back with a dung-eating grin on his face. If he could talk, he'd probably just say one word.

"Yahtzee!"

High Octane Gas

Just what is this nasal menace? It's a combo of things:

 

• Methane
• Nitrogen
• Hydrogen sulfide
• Carbon dioxide
• Oxygen

Trapped like a gaseous rat as this gas wiggles its way from the stomach through the intestines, it's gotta come out somewhere. The more ripe flatulence contains this stuff called mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide gas. How this mixture of sulfur-smelling poofery comes into being is too much protein in your dog's diet.

If this jaw-dropping release continues, you need to take the mutt to the vet. There's the off-possibility that your pet may have a tiny monkey throwing a wrench into it digestive works.

Farts, Part Two

Everything that roams the surface of the planet breathes air. No only that, they swallow a fair amount when they drink something. Then there's also gas which gets absorbed in the intestines from the blood. Bacteria and simply the breakdown of food likewise cause fartulence.

No Corking Needed

That would be a bad thing to plug the poor canine's butt with a cork. Hell, the pup might explode. And that's a real mess to clean-up. Talk to your vet and ask the doc about some natural remedies like:

• Pimpinella anisum
• Foeniculum vulgare
• Magnesium Phosphate
• Carbo veg
• Nux vomica

As for their food, barley and oats are action packed with grains and fiber-rich vitamins, minerals, oils, and protein. Veggies, especially carrots are not only fun for the pet to munch upon; it's good for their eyes. While at the vet, as them about probiotics. A daily dose will help balance the digestive system.

The expert will also be able to rattle-off a list of store-bought foods and supplements that will issue a cease-and-desist order to your dog's butt from turning your living room into a sulfur pit. Once the animal's cured, if the aroma rises from the east in the future and you're damned well sure if it wasn't you, it's a sterling bet that it's your significant other.

Incidentally, it may be gross but people usually tolerate the odor from their own flatulence than that dealt by another. That is to say, your dog may actually enjoy their airy left-behinds.
