Is there any particular kind of dog food that you could recommend? I do not feed my dogs any table scraps at all nor are they around cat food. I currently feed my dogs Nutrok Lamb Meal and Rice. I would rather feed them something that has NO bi products in it, plus I've heard that the Lamb Meal and Rice is very gentle on their stomach. It also contains Glucosamine in it which Rottweilers need due to their hip and joint problems. I do give them treats too occasionaly but they are also the Nutro Lamb Meal and Rice. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thank you!

Cami, it really is true, what goes in must come out. More than likely the gas is the result of your dogs diet. All digestive systems are individual and what food agrees with some may not with others. If it really bothers you, you can try a diet change or take a look at what else the dog eats such as treats, chew bones, table scraps or cat food (or poop).

If you decide to make a diet change, take 5 to 7 days to do so. Start mixing the new food in slowly at about 1/4 of the amount and gradually increase over the next week. This will help the dog to get use to the new food with out causing diarrhea.

My Boxer has THE WORST gas (and a lot of it) if I give him rawhide. Could that be it?

Yes, the rawhide can make your dog have more gas than he might normally. You might consider changing to raw marrow bones that take much longer to chew and less to ingest.

Aside from rawhides sometimes causing digestive problems, I like raw marrow bones because they not only provide *hours* of entertainment for the pups, but they help them keep clean teeth. We switched to a raw food diet almost two years ago, and all of the pups teeth are in so much better shape. Our 3-year-olds, who have grown up almost exclusively on the raw food diet, have almost no tartar build-up. Our older dogs have seen a marked reduction in build-up.
