I have changed my dogs (gradually) to Arden Grange and they stink when they pump, enough to clear a room, any ideas why this is happening as I really can't bear it much longer, its disgusting.  I thought changing them to a decent food would eliminate all the whiffy, pongy smells but it seems to be worse and with 3 dogs all pumping you can imagine what the house smell likes!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the food just doesn't suit them?   Don't know how I'd cope with that, mine don't seem to 'guff' at all, or if they do there's no noise and no smell :-D

Sometimes the noise is that loud they wake themselves up lol. Phew and the smell is unbearable.  I have just looked on another thread and I am going to give CSJ a go.

Mine are doing really well on it, coming off Burns I thought I might have a few problems but nothing of the sort :)   they just look great and have the right amount of energy :)

Which one are yours on, as I have been on the website and there are quite a few different ones???

If it is the chicken one then chicken can make dogs windy.  Mine are on the lamb and Rice AG and are fine.

Hi just checked the bag in the garage and yes it is the chicken, might try the lamb or change completely to CSJ, it is embarrassing anyone coming into the house at the moment so the sooner the better although I know to introduce a new food gradually, but does that rule apply if it is the same make ie Arden Grange but a different flavour?

If they are not doing well on the chicken then I would just swap over to the lamb and rice in AG and give it a try.  Check if you do go the CSJ route that it doesn't contain chicken.

My two are on the lamb and rice and its very rare that they have flatulence. I havent tried the chicken. But the lamb and rice I find is brilliant. Their stools are lovely and firm too.

Which one are you using.  One of their chicken recipes had that tendency, ti was the one with all fresh chicken meat, as opposed to chicken meal.  I was told that it was one of the ingredients (might have been oats) that wasn't in most of their other range) that could have this effect on some dogs.

The friend who had this problem has never had a problem using the Lamb and Rice and the Chicken adult that used to be called Classic.

My own have been fine on both chicken adult versions, the lamb and rice, the puppy food and the Prestige.  My breed isn't prone to flatulence like some breeds are.  Did the dogs have the same problem before on their old food, and are they getting treats that could be causing this. 

Hi it is the chicken adult classic, and the only treats different to their food is a tiny biscuit when they go in their cage on a night time, other than that they get rawhide chews, could they cause it?  I will give the Lamb and Rice ago but do I need to introduce it gradually or can I just give them it straightaway?

I am such an idiot when I looked at the bag I only read half of it and it is the lamb they are on and are still smelling awful!!!  So it looks like a complete change of food I guess.

You could try their salmon and rice one. :) Don't know if that would be any better for your dogs, but it's a thought.

The rawhides could certainly contribute. What breed are your dogs, are they a breed known for flatulence?

I would be very surprised at smells from the Lamb. I find even the poo hardly smells at all. How is theirs?

The reason I asked about treats is if you are feeding the same treats as you were when they had this problem before it could have been the treats and not either food.

I would certainly give cutting out all treats a go for at least a week (assuming the poos are not awful smelly)and only feed the food.  You can always give a few bits of the kibble as a nightime biscuit or treat.

They are weimaraners and I don't know if the breed is known for flatulence.  I will cut out the treats, the poohs are hard from two of them but the sensitive one is half and half, sometimes she has nice hard ones and then other times it is like a soft dollop.

Do they (the poos) have the unpleasant excessive odour though that your noticing?

Also how long since you changed them over?

I and many dog owners I know judge a food agreeing with our dogs partly by the output, as well as general condition. 

>I and many dog owners I know judge a food agreeing with our dogs partly by the output, as well as general condition.

LOL that's how I judge it too :)   General condition, teeth (do they seem to get dirty quickly?)  does the dog smell ?  do they have wind? (smelly or otherwise ;) ) and what comes out the other end, amount and erm... consistency   I have to pick it up so don't want to be gagging all the time ;)
