hi everyone, ive recently got a frenchbulldog pup,all is going great ive been feeding him royal canine also tried iams but he is so full of wind and when he goes he can clear a room in 3 seconds!any thoughts on the best food to try to lessen the intensity....help

hi, my frenchie is the same, changing his food never helped. dont worry you'll get used to it!!!!!!
we find the air wick freshmatic works well!!!

Are you soaking the food before feeding it? The stomach will have to work less hard if you do.

Some dogs I have owned in the past have had wind problems when fed complete dry foods, so I found that by feeding fresh meats and a little biscuit vegetables etc it has calmed down.

I have frenchies and to be honest you learn to live with it. I haven't found a food yet that reduces the wind in my frenchies ( or the belching!! )

what ever food you change onto make sure you do it over a few days, so he gets used to the new food in small doses.
better stock up on air fresheners..........

Thanks everyone , I'll try the suggestions,,on my way to get the airfreshner!!

charcoal powder/tablets are good for reducing wind ;)

It does seem that some breeds are particulary windy, and the bullbreeds seem to be particulary prone ;)

My sister's bulldog puppy is revolting I've never smelt anything like it but he is fed a decent food, perhaps it's something they'll have to get used to !

At the end of the day wind is caused because the foods given are not able to be digested by the body any other way, so the body turns them to gas and expells that way. Perhaps some breeds do have more problems digesting todays dog foods in which case I would try to make the diet as natural as possible in giving more of a BARF type diet, the body should be able to digest fresh meats as that is a dogs natural diet, so maybe a steering in that direction will help. :-)

i just met another frenchie pup owner, the first question he asked me was "does he fart?" so it seems to be the norm however ive stopped giving him chicken and chicken based foods ,he still farts but the rancid eye watering smell is gone!! the last day or two has been fine ,much easier to live with.....farting and snoring its like having a second husband!....good luck to your sister

My Boxer can be very musical when she has wind, it is really tuneful, we have even considered fixing an air freshener to her backside ( the sort that you put in front of the air vents in a car ) someone should invent one for dogs - and make a fortune !!!!

your post has had me in stitches !!!!!! cant stop laughing and so so true.My gran had pugs,poodles and peks,and she would break wind and blame it on them !!
god bless you gran

Our Boxers and Boston have all been the same full of wind some deadlier than others! the Vet told me that all Bull breeds are the same in that department as they ingest so much air when they eat and drink Bless them x

I'm laughing because this just reminds me of an embarrassing experience!

I adopted a little girl after her owner died.  This was when my vet only had a little local surgery, before the hospital was built.

It was small and cosy in the waiting room, radiators on as it was very cold outside.  Judy kept on dropping silent ones, and I was mortified!  The heat made them almost choking.

I do know the vet well by the way!  I mentioned to him that I did hope that nobody thought the awful stench was me!  He laughed, and I should have remembered his sense of humour.  As I went back into the waiting room after my appointment, he shouted after me (loud enough for all to hear), I do hope that Judy's flatulence improves!!!!!!
