RamNut Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I found myself wondering the greater proportion of biscuits in a dogs diet is responsible for the greater output of farts from dogs, as compared with say cats. cats do fart occasionally but usually chicken based SBDs high in hydrogen sulphide content the carbohydrate content of biscuits might create a higher methane load in dogs. i assume that this is something of concern to other posters too. do other pets also let off? and if so, why?

RamNut Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Chicken with turkey is asking for trouble in my opinion. hard to decide whether the brown rice and sweet potato will temper the noxious odours or add additional methane propellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 We've been giving our mini schnauzer a mix of Royal Cannin dry, and a third of a Pedigree puppy pouch since we had him and haven't really noticed anything bad. Saying that, nothing could be worse than the stench my lad produces, jesus wept some of his makes my eyes water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix apple cider vinegar and water at a 1:1 ration. The vinegar can also be substituted for an essential oil such as citronella, lavender, peppermint or lemongrass (1 part oil to 3 parts water). Spray areas that are effected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Our labrador eats everything she can get hold of, her notional diet being James wellbeloved dry food. She snores like a drain and farts like a trombone. The wife just kicks me tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I misread this... I thought it was for people who keep farts as pets. In a jam jar, and only let out on special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild animals rarely fart as to do so would give the game away when hiding from dangerous predators. apart from gorillas - but they are pretty safe from predators - and they live in the jungle which positively reverberates to the ripping sound of self-venting primates.
