The shovelers have definitely smelled the stinky smell when they were playing with their dogs at home. I thought the dog was pooping in some corner. After searching for a long time, I found that the odor came from the dog. Needless to say, it was the dog fart! Why do dogs fart so smelly? You need to understand these reasons.

The stomach and intestines of dogs are actually very fragile, especially some small dogs. There may be indigestion. At this time, hydrogen sulfide will be produced in the dog's body, so when the dog farts, it will smell a rotten egg~

Solution:

The shoveler can give the dog some easy-to-digest food, or feed the dog with probiotics or yogurt. Remember to eat it in moderation. Excessive consumption may cause diarrhea to the dog.

Feeling pressure

There is also pressure in the world of dogs. When the dog feels a certain pressure, the bacteria in the intestines will become active, so that the dog will easily fart!

Solution:

The shoveler can pay attention to the emotional problems of the dog, and do not beat or scold or intimidate the dog, so that the dog can be in a relaxed environment.

Improper diet

Diet problems are also the reason why dogs fart. When dogs consume too much starchy food or have too high protein, they can easily accumulate in the dog's intestines and turn into amine gases. Naturally, farts smell bad!

Solution:

Change the type of food of dogs, reduce starch and meat, it is best to choose dog food with moderate protein for dogs. Of course, when changing dog food for dogs, you should also use the seven-day food exchange method~

Anal gland blockage

Anal gland blockage is something that many shovelers will ignore. When the dog's anal glands are blocked and accumulated, it will emit a very stench, and the smell will naturally smell even worse when the dog farts.

Solution:

Regularly clean the anal glands of the dog. Squeeze from the inside to the outside at 4 and 20 o'clock in the dog's chrysanthemum to squeeze the dog's anal glands clean. Remember to master the strength and don’t hurt your dog’s little butt~ Also be careful to stand on the dog’s head when cleaning, otherwise you may be sprayed on the face~

Constipation

Dogs will also experience constipation, especially if the dog eats some indigestive food, and when the dog experiences constipation, the farting will be stinky! There are many reasons for dogs to be constipated. Generally, it is mainly because of difficult food to digest and poor living habits.

Solution:

Pay more attention to the dog's diet. If the dog is constipated occasionally, you can feed some foods or fruits that are easy to digest or are conducive to defecation. However, if the dog has long-term constipation, it is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination!

Eat voraciously

Some dogs go down the mountain with hungry tigers when they eat, for fear that someone will steal its delicious food. This way of eating not only easily leads to digestion problems for dogs, but also causes excessive air to enter the intestines during the eating process, causing dogs to fart and hiccup.

Solution:

Change to dog slow-food bowl and feed regularly and regularly.

Insufficient exercise

The reason why some dogs fart smells bad is actually because of intestinal problems of the dog. It may be that the dog's exercise is less, which makes the dog's intestinal peristalsis slow.

Solution:

Take the dog after a meal, which can not only help the dog's intestinal peristalsis, but also make the dog feel happy.

It is normal for dogs to fart. Just like humans, they eat foods that are difficult to digest or high in protein. The fart smell will make people feel overwhelmed. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to the reason why the dog farts. Under normal circumstances, the shoveler must pay attention to whether the dog is constipated for a long time. If it cannot be solved, it is recommended that you go to the pet hospital for consultation~
