I have noticed that since the bullies are outside much more and more active, the gas is much worse. I also noticed it worst in the evenings...IN bed..lol if there a way to cut down on the gas??
My wife is waaaaaaaay worse than Roxy or me put together! LOL And yes, I know she would probably divorce me if she discovered this post. That's why you won't be telling her, right? lol
I have little experience but the food thing makes sense to me. We are very strict with Roxy about feeding her a quality food, yogurt, and no crap/people food, including treats. And so far (knocking on wood here) no problems.
As far as my wife goes, she eats extremely healthfully, and is in fact close to vegetarian. So I blame all that darned roughage! LOL

I gave this some thought, but I have fed the same food for 3 years and not as bad of an issue as it has been lately. but I do like the idea of a raw diet as well
the reason I thought of the excersise is that is what it is like in people, gotta move to get the gas moving so to speak. that is why we have to walk so much after surgery.

me. In the past 14 years of owning bulldogs I have yet to have a one that had bad gas. There was a time when my husband fed Norbert shrimp and we went boating the next day...not good but on average I have never had that problem.
My husband if far more stinky then my bulldogs have ever been...infact he is always blaming them. Believe me I can tell the difference.
I totally believe it has to do with what they are being fed.

Yep, fat free yogurt works wonders:-)
I give a tablespoon twice a day...one in each meal. I don't give any other foods or treats to my Sophie and she never has gas:-)
