I don't know how many pet owners have experienced such things. The dog farts every now and then, making the house full of some kind of smell~
If the dog suddenly farts frequently at home, and then the abdomen is bloated, it may be caused by gastrointestinal flatulence.
Dogs are flatulent and farting, just like people, which is a normal physiological personal behavior. However, when a dog develops gas bloating, if the gas cannot be discharged normally, in severe cases, this will cause stomach torsion and seriously endanger your life!
What causes dog bloating?
1. The meal rate is too fast
In fact, dogs are particularly hungry, so many dogs eat and swallow them all in a hurry, which tastes like a vacuum cleaner, and will swallow them immediately without chewing. At this moment, we will continue to swallow the gas together, gathering in our stomachs, causing bloating and stinky farts.
This can reduce its meal rate based on eating less and using slow-food bowls.
2. Suddenly changing dietary matching
Generally speaking, the nutritional elements of the two ingredients must be somewhat different. If the difference is very big, such as the protein content is 20% or 28%, and suddenly the new upgraded dog food is replaced, the dog is very likely to be indigested and causing bloating.
The beneficial bacteria in the stomach and intestines have finally integrated into a certain type of special dietary structure. Sudden replacement will cause this beneficial bacteria to be caught off guard.
If you can change the food to a dog, you can use the method from shallow to deep, and feed the two together, gradually reducing the proportion of old food.
3. Ingredients caused by food
are very likely to cause bloating, such as sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, various bean foods, red heart pomelo, etc. Everyone knows that this kind of item will cause too much gas. Eating too much will make it easy to bloat and fart.
is not nagging anymore, it is very easy to prevent. Just try to avoid giving dogs this to eat.
4. Other gastrointestinal diseases.
For example, indigestion, intestinal parasites, and lactose intolerance will cause a large amount of gas in the dog's gastrointestinal tract to cause bloating.
For this kind of people, help must be given to professionals.
Now that people understand the reasons, what can we do to prevent them? After all, it is prevented from exceeding treatment.
1: Eat less and eat more, feed it to prevent dogs from swallowing whole.
2: Fill in gastrointestinal pepsin, probiotic powder, etc., which can be used as snacks or mixed into dog food to make up for it.
3: If you exercise moderately, the dog will be greedy. You don’t have to let it eat and sleep. If you wake up, you will be able to promote digestion. It is also beneficial to the physical and mental health of the dog.
