The Mrs. manages a "Pet Boutique" and is wise in the ways of different foods and results of such.
How old is the dog?
Has she been spayed?
What food is she on now?
I will ask her when she gets home in a few.

[ROFL1] Couldn't resist. My brother has a yellow lab who has farted all his life. changing diet and numerous other options he has tried to no avail. Hopefully you can find a cure, if not guess it's amazing what you can get used to. The cork is always the first thing that comes to my mind...

Fennel Seed.
don't knock this until you try it
Nope, you can lessen the damage but you won't get rid of it. Bull dogs, boxers, etc. Certain breeds come with certain... pleasures, lol.

I just got off the horn with Mama and she relayed the following:
Very gassy breed to start and they are prone to digestive issues. They are very food sensitive.
She is on one of the worst foods you can have her on, it is very heavy on corn and corn glutens. Look on the bag for the ingredients and you will find corn probably very close to the top of the list, maybe 2cnd or 3rd. That is because it is one of the primary ingredients. The corn has very little nutritional value and as a result there is quite a bit of waste (landmines!)
The corn glutens turn to sugars and can cause dental issues and that can affect the overall health of the dog, not to mention the myriad of other grains and not so healthy stuff in Purina.
She recommended a grain free diet and you should see a reduction in bubbles and less waste.
A couple of brands she suggested:
Taste of the Wild
Natures Variety Instinct
Origin
You might be wise to to consider a digestive enzyme supplement as well.
If you want PM me and I will give you her store info.

Might try a brand of food that contains no wheat too, (no gluten).

Beat me to it. Just don't get behind the dog.
Back off of the cabbage and beans too. [Pot]
A change in diet can cause the odoriferous wind. Pick a good food and stick with it. That should help fix the problem.
Glade Rose Bisque is also an alternative. [GasM]

BPTactical was the most helpful so far- I'd agree- avoid any food with "vegetables" in it... especially in first few ingredients
if nothing else helps, you may try a "raw meat" diet... after all, it's what they would eat in the wild... my mother-in-law feeds this- pork neck bones, chicken, etc... her dogs won't even eat dog food anymore.
a cleanse with some yogurt may help, too- the beneficial bacterial help them to digest food before it 'ferments' in their gut...
we have 7 dogs, ranging from 40Lbs to 180Lbs... so we're familiar with the smell you're referring to. [Gas1][Gas2]

Feed him/her consistanlty decent dog food. Do not get the Wally World brand or the stink will continue.
Sounds like she/he is adjust ing to their new home and this coul dbe a cause of the stress. Just keep it on a steady diet of decent food.

it's not just the price of the dog food- my wife bought some "boutique" high-priced dog food, and I was online ready to order a gas mask!!!
looked at the ingredients, and it had "vegetables" added, like dogs are normally vegetarians...

same thing happened with my dog. During a snow storm, about died. Literally gave me headaches. Try cutting out any wet food and make sure she's not finding something odd to eat. If it persists there are formula's you can feed her look at an online vet website.

A good point brought up here-Stress. Could definitley add to the flatulence.
Along the line of ingredients- The first five are the primary ingredients, make sure that the first is a meat protein, try to stay away from empty fillers and by-products. A bit of vegetable like potato, sweet potato, green beans etc are actually a good thing. The Orijen that we feed is 80% meat protein to 20% vegetable, which is a good ratio depending how active (Not!) your dog is.
One thing about the quality grain free foods and don't let it spook you-it does cost more. Mama just got home and she said a 30# bag of Taste of the Wild (TOW) is $49.99 and it is one of the less expensive all natural grain free foods. While it is more expensive than say Old Roy from Wally World you do not have to feed nearly as often as the dog digests and actually uses the food much more efficiently.
As a result you feed much less.
Example-We have a Shar-Pei/Bull Mastiff mix that tips the scales at 100# and he only eats 3.5 cups of food and a tasty treat per day. He is happy and healthy with great teeth and coat. Now if we were feeding him a grain/corn rich diet such a Purina or such he would eat us out of house and home. The dog's nutritional needs are never met and they feel that they need to keep eating. That is also why they tend to "Woof Down" their food so fast. We feed him and our Sheltie Orijen foods and they dont woof it down, rather they just nibble at what they want.
As they are using what they eat much better there is much less waste as well so we dont have to poop scoop nearly as much.
Here is the website for her store:
http://mouthfuls.net/
They are very in tune to the nutritional needs for your pets (cat or dog) and definitley take the all natural approach to things. They are also great at helping keep the animal out of the vets office with some of the suppliments etc that they have.
New diet, Blue Buffalo, Wilderness etc, NO gluten, grain. Dogs aren't veggie heads so they don't need grain. A humidifier needs to be used, good for the short nose dogs and good for you a + for all.
Beautiful dog. So happy for you guys.
Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year.
thanks its just a temp housing deal until we find a perm home for her,
Let me know when she needs a home. I love bulldogs, grew up with one. My folks are on there second and my sister has one also.
They say a dog and his owner end up looking alike. Glock21, this dog looks just like you. How could you not keep it?[ROFL1]

Go to your vet and get Purina PVD. It is persription dog food, they make it for nearly every ailment that dogs and cats can have. Also check out pet promise maade buy purina. It is 100 percent organic. You will find it at organic grocery stores. There is also. Purina dog sensative system, found anywhere pet food is sold. Id stay away from the ma and pop brands. No telling where the ingrediant came from. And don't pay to much attention to the ingrediant list when it comes to the veggies, there usually ain't enough to make any sort of difference. Its only put in by just enough for them to be able to print it on the bag. Were talking 50 pounds of peas in 6 tons of food.

Here's another product you could try: http://www.1800petmeds.com/NaturVet+Enzymes+++Probiotics-prod10803.html
You might also just try plain old acidophilus (it works for someone I know). Sprinkle half a capsule into some wet food, and everyone is much happier. If it works, then you don't need all the other enzymes in the product above.
"Acidophilus is a powdered form of a bacteria called 'lactobacillus.' It is used when the intestines have been compromised by illness, stress, or the use of medications like antibiotics. In these situations, the normal 'friendly' bacteria which help in digestion often die and are replaced by bacteria which tend to cause problems such as increased intestinal gas and diarrhea. The lactobacillus bacteria are used to help prevent overgrowth of these undesirable bacteria, and allow the 'friendly' bacteria to recover their normal numbers."
hahaha funny. my wife is not happy that i brought her home so. hahaha
I flippin love these dogs! I have a great home for her... [Beer]
yup its most likely diet. My dog used to have it all the time real bad.
We switched him to a quality dog food which does not use any type of corn product as its first 10 ingredients. It help quite a bit.
Those few times he does have it bad we give him a Gas-X pill....does the job
Might want to look into Blue Buffalo brand dog food...
i started her on raw chicken mixed with activia yogurt and green beans, she doesnt stink now like gas and she didnt poop in the house last night, she is doing better now

Glock21- Way to go!
Mama said boiled chicken and rice, along with the activia and green beans will be a good diet for 3 or 4 days to get her stomach settled and digestive system back on track. Don't overfeed her, she is not gonna starve- small portions 3 or 4 times a day is actually better. You can substitute hamburger but red meat can be a bit on the rich side for a tender tummy.
Turkey and ham in small doses are ok as well.
If you notice her stool being soft add a dollop of sweet potato or pumpkin- the fiber helps balance the moisture in the intestines.
You won't need to feed her this bland diet forever, just long enough to get her gut settled after that she will need a balanced diet with proper vitamins, nutrients and calcium. A great way to add calcium is to crush up egg shells as fine as you can and add it to her food. She probably is calcium deficient with having had the litters of pups she has.
FYI- Onions, Grapes and Avocado are TOXIC to a dog.
The offer still stands if you want to meet the Mrs. at her store on Sunday and bring the dog with. She is sure she can set you up with some free samples.
We found ourselves with a black lab pup recently with the worst farts I have ever encountered, including my own. I mean, she would fart and we would leave the house, and then come back to the same fart. It was...bad. We changed her food out to some no-corn no-wheat stuff and she isn't nearly as farty, still a little turd, just doesn't smell like it anymore.

If you decide to go the direction of production dog food, Costco Kirkland brand dog food is a well rated kibble at half the price of other premium foods. Not perfect but makes my membership worthwhile.
BPTactical- great info thanks

After reading this I think I would be cautious About Kirkland Dog Food (http://www.rateitall.com/i-863920-kirkland-super-premium-chicken-and-rice.aspx)
